What was the circumstance that led you to the DZ for the first time to make your very first skydive?
I was at a party in the East Village in NYC and someone said they were going skydiving the next day and invited me to tag along. So, I did. We went to Lakewood NJ and made static line jumps on rounds.

What made you want to continue skydiving after your first jump?
I was convinced that I could not have saved my life on the first jump had there been a malfunction. Oddly, I wanted to master that. So, I flew to ZHills and did the AFF program.

What’s the best / most memorable skydive you’ve ever made?
With Sandy Williams of The Misty Blues, practicing the trapeze stunt. She would lower a trapeze and I would climb down and swing from my knee.

If you could jump with anyone in the world, who would you like to jump with and why?
Jerry Bird. I see him often at Skydive City. Just to have one more jump with him would be the best.

What about your daily work at Skydive City contributes to FUN at Skydive City?
Doing what I can to help the amazing fun jumpers here who are always “up to something” fun.

What is most gratifying about your work at Skydive City?
When I hear people describe Skydive City as magical, describe how much fun they are having here and really having a good time.
