Author: Ben Nelson

Originally from Anchorage, Alaska, with a background in Emergency Medicine and Occupational Health and Safety, Ben currently lives in Texas and is the dropzone manager at Skydive Spaceland Dallas. With over 10,000 skydives, Ben has attended, both as a participant and an organizer, most of the major vertical formation world records since 2013. He is currently working on pushing the limits of Extreme Relative Work (XRW). When he is not flying parachutes, you can find him flying paragliders and miniwings, SCUBA diving, or BASE jumping. If you want to get on Ben’s good side, he enjoys IPAs.
