My work
I skydive with motion picture cameras for films, television, and commercials. I also help my clients coordinate skydivers, aircraft, and locations.

Competitive Experience
I believe my most valuable asset is the ability to fly the camera aggressively and safely. Most of my 8000 sky dives were dedicated to training as a camera flyer for skysurfing meets where the camera flyer's performance is scored along with the skysurfer's score. During that time I learned to fly in 3D while maintaining a smooth and well framed image (see resume).

Skydiving Stunts
To film any action sport, like surfing, skiing, or motocross, its best to find trained athletes who have the skills required to safely perform the action.

So I fly with a team of terrific skydivers, men and women who have won world championship titles in a variety of disciplines. They're jumpers who are comfortable in flight, handle pressure well, and gracefully perform even the most difficult maneuvers. Overall, their abilities in the air add greatly to the value of my work.
