Life At 14,000 Feet!

A friend asked me if I had ever wanted to skydive and that was all it took. Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane on May 1, 2021 was the perfect way to celebrate the pandemic being over for me. This was one of the greatest experiences of my lifetime. I greatly encourage anyone thinking of the skydiving challenge – do it my friend – you won’t be disappointed. I want to thank the great team at Skydive Alabama for getting me through the entire process safely. Check out some of the wonderful footage captured below!
