When you were a kid, were there any early activities that might indicate you’d one day become a skydiver?
My parents took me to an airshow when I was a young kid, and I saw the Army jumping.

What was the circumstance that led you to the DZ for the first time to make your very first skydive?
My parents bought a gift certificate to Parachutes Inc. in Orange Massachusetts in 1980.

What made you want to continue skydiving after your first jump?
The thrill of adrenaline running through my veins.

What’s the best / most memorable skydive you’ve ever made?
My most memorable skydive was jumping with my best friend over Key West who is no longer with us on Earth.

If you could jump with anyone in the world, who would you like to jump with and why?
Truman Sparks from the movie Fandango, because he was an inspirational instructor. If you haven’t seen the movie you need to!
