He recruited me into the 'STARS' parachute team, and I’ll never forget those Friday sessions at the Raeford Drop Zone.
He was a master of his craft, especially in Canopy Relative Work (CRW), and he had a unique way of bridging the gap between military freefall and the art of skydiving. He found his true niche in the North Carolina sky. A talented operator and a great teammate.
