While on active duty in the US Army I decided to try parachuting since seeing parachutes outside Durand, WI at 11 years old. I just wanted to try it once. On Sep 10, 1972 my life was forever changed. Fifty plus years later I'm a 3 time World Champion and multiple World Records holder. What a journey it's been.

This the last World Record I help set. It's still the current record. Some say it will never be broken. Udon Thani, Thailand from 25,800 feet. Video: Andrey Veselov, Russia.
While visiting Skydive Arizona in the spring of 2023 I made a jump which changed me. I made a discovery that is still playing out. More to come...
