Dz Where I Learned to Jump: Skydive Tecumseh, MI
Nationality: American
Favorite Quote: “You can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So, you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path.”
Most Memorable Jump: My first tandem. I had no idea what I was getting into and had zero intention of becoming a skydiver, but that was the jump that changed everything. It brought this sport and these people into my life, and nothing has been the same since.
