PREFERRED METHODS OF FLIGHT: RW! Love the big ways

INTERESTS & ACTIVITIES (Other than skydiving): Well, I use to do all kinds of stuff golf, water ski, snow ski, camping, fishing, then I took up skydiving . . . You could say school, since I'll never finish, I received my bachelors now I need a masters then most likely a doctorate.

PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Passing all four parts of the CPA exam in one sitting. Jumping out of an airplane, I mean I would have NEVER though I'd be a skydiver!!

SKYDIVING ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Starting and doing nearly ALL of my skydives with my Father!
Being able to jump with my 76yld Grandfather, what better way to share love with the family?
Completing my first 100 + formation with under 400 skydives
Being on a 4-way team with my Dad.
Coming in dead LAST at the 2001 nationals in 4-way (hey you have to work hard to come in last, lets see airspeed do that!)
Being invited on the upcoming Airspeed 300-way in Brazil in December with only 512 skydives!
Being a member Jump for the Cause Women's World Record Support team.

NOTABLES: Being on a 106-way formation under 400 jumps. This notable because I hope to shatter the idea in our sport that jump #'s matter. We all know that ten years ago you'd never have a 512-jump jumper invited to a world record.

FAVORITE QUOTE: Isn't having a smoking section in a restaurant like having a peeing section in a swimming pool?

Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome.

FUTURE GOALS: Being on or organizing the first completely random (where every grip is broken) 100+ sequential. Designing really tough (that's the technical term) skydives, challenging individuals as much as possible. AFF instructor, I love bringing people into this sport.
