My 1st skydiving competition was the Collegiate Nationals in 1980. Competed in Style and Accuracy jumping a PC and a belly wart with 40 jumps. Had a 4-way team in 1981, but the Collegiate Nationals were rained out in Deland.

Worked at Archway Parachute Centre for Dave and Kirk Verner from 1982-1992. Jumpmaster, Instructor, Packer, Videographer, Tandem Master. Taught John Leming his 1st jump course and made lots of 4-ways with Kirk. Competed at US Nationals in accuracy 5 times. Best finish was 8th. Best score for 10 rounds was 20 centimeters total.

Moved to Perris California in 1992 where I worked at Square One as the Shipping and Receiving person, coached RW, and did video at the drop zone.

Moved to Eloy in 1994 and started doing coach jumps. (Thanks Joey) Then tandems, AFF, Skydive U, and video.

Videoed the Japanese 4-way team at the 1995 World Meet in Gap.

Joined Airspeed in 1996. Numerous Nationals medals, 3 time Nationals Overall Champion, 8-way World Champion 1999, still in the books as a world record holder of most formations in 16-way. I was in the formations, not the video guy.

Currently working as a Batch Records Auditor for Abbott Laboratories in Casa Grande, AZ and as a skydiving videographer.
