Memorable Jumps: Muskrat tried to teach me how to sit-fly. Flat on my back, I fell faster than him in a stand. I waved 'buh-bye' and went into a sit. During my qualifying jump for Team Funnel, Muskrat and I held a 2 way while everyone else came in, and we just smiled at each other..then two people got sucked into my burble. First AFP student to jump out of a helicopter. Jumped with Nicole and I was "One of the experienced jumpers". The time I surfed 25 feet right past Homer, mostly on my knees, then popped it up and ran it off.

Likes: Massage. Skydive. Skydivers. Lounging. Hugs. Friends. Bonfires.

Stats: I drove past a sign one time in Arizona telling me that I, too, could skydive. I decided I would someday. Four years later, someday came when my good friend, Bill Homer, invited me out to skydive with him. I made my first tandem jump on March 6, 2000 and returned for my second about a month later. I knew I'd get hooked fast if I kept going, so I stopped to save up money. About a year later, I entered AFP and finished in just over a month, including a week vacation in Las Vegas. I've jumped with many wonderful people and look forward to jumping with many more wonderful people. Right now, I have 42 jumps. I hope to have 150 by this time next year.
