About Me
I’m a maker and creator at heart with 12+ years working as a founding member at various startups. It was at one of the startups, CreativeLive, where my coworkers twisted my arm to go on my first skydive. Ten of us jumped and somehow something for me clicked and here I am still jumping all these years later.
When I’m not at the DZ or talking about skydiving you’ll often find me climbing things, taking pictures, programming flashing lights, making a video game, sewing, flying airplanes, flying rc drones, or pretending to fly things via my at-home flight sim setup.

Skydive Snohomish Wingsuit Doc
Starting in 2014, I worked with members of the wingsuit community and the DZO to work on a plan to safely wingsuit at Skydive Snohomish, one of my local DZs. In late 2018 we were able to start wingsuiting there.
The document is 20 pages and it establishes rules, wingsuit descriptions, wingsuit use approval requirements, wingsuit patterns, canopy patterns, and how to safely integrate wingsuiting in with the tandem operations at the drop zone.
USPA National Director
In 2024, I ran for USPA National Director for the 2025–2027 term. There were 14 candidates, and the top 8 were elected. I didn’t make the top 8, but I was proud to earn 1,151 votes from fellow USPA members.
That experience reaffirmed my commitment to serving our skydiving community. In 2025, I’m running again in the USPA Special Election to fill a recently vacated seat on the board. Voting will be open online from July 15 through July 31, 2025.
