What do you do for a living/career?

I’m normally working as an outdoor instructor (raft,kayak,climbing,canyon-guide). During my time in Australia I take all the work that I can get (farming,labouring).

What/who inspired you to make your first jump?

What was the hardest part for you earning your A-license?

I guess flaring the canopy took quite a few jumps before I managed to land on my feet.

I see my self as a student who wants to learn and who wants to gain knowledge of everything that has to do with skydiving.

There are several skydiving dropzones to choose from, what made you choose Skydive Jurien Bay?

I did some research online and skydive Jurien bay kept popping on my screen. I looked at some reviews and was happy with what I was reading.

At the moment I just want to get my jump numbers up so I can jump my ow. rig. In the very far future I think skydiving might be a career path so I can keep traveling and work on different dropzones.
