Formation Skydiving

Joy.  Stillness.  Precision.  Peace.

Holding hands with friends falling through the sky at 180mph.

I started skydiving in the summer of 2011, earning my Accelerated Freefall (AFF) certification in Hollister, CA.  Soon after obtaining my A-license, I began jumping at Bay Area Skydiving in Byron, CA, which was my home dropzone for many years.  These days, you can find me at Skydive California in Tracy, CA.

Some of my favorite moments:

• Kon and Yessi's wedding in freefall 
• Reeeally big multi-point skydives (articles by the Telegraph and the NY Post)

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

 Strategy.  Timing.  Experimentation.  ​Flow.

After 3 years of learning Krav Maga, I discovered BJJ and began training at Romulo Melo BJJ n December 2013.  

After an amazing trip to Rio de Janeiro where we trained with Vinnie Aieta from Gracie Humaita, I received my blue belt under Romulo Melo in Jan 2015 and Purple Belt in April 2018.

Find me on the mats in the morning classes.

Learning

I'm pretty darn curious about the universe.

Recently I've been listening to audiobooks during my commute, which has been fantastic (and productive!)
