On 5 October 2002, I made my first jump and 19 years later I've done over 3000 jumps.

 

People often ask me why do I jump or what does it feel like? I cannot possibly tell you what it feels like to skydive, it is something you must experience for yourself. However, why I jump is easier to explain...

Freefall has become my sanctuary. It's the one place where only the moment matters. The rush and adrenaline disappeared for me after about 50 jumps, now it’s just calm and relaxing.

There is a common saying in skydiving, "come for the rush, stay for the community". During the past 19 years, I have traveled all over the world to skydive and I can honestly say there is no community like the skydiving community. You basically gain a global family when you start skydiving. The skydiving community is also very diverse - anything from mechanics to plastic surgeons and everything in between.

I’ve also been very fortunate to have taken part in multiple world record attempts for the largest wingsuit formation. I’ve competed in multiple South African national championships. 

I am currently jumping at Skydive Pretoria and assist my club as Tandem camera man and I’ve also recently completed my instructors rating.
