Mike has been skydiving nonstop since 1985. His first home dropzone was GCSPC in Bardstown, Kentucky, where he learned a love for FS, CRW, videography and demonstration jumps.
In 1992 he moved to the Cincinnati, Ohio area where he enjoyed learning 8-12 way sequential and also participated in state large formation records throughout the mid-west and southern US.
2002-2006 Mike was a founding member of the Fastrax skydiving team where he trained in 4-way FS and helped to build their demonstration team. In 2007 Mike started doing tandems and has found joy introducing our sport to over 7,000 people to date.
Mike has participated in the last 5 Night World records . He has recently teamed up with fellow record holder Ebby Boehm in organizing Night Sequential FS Camps. Their recent camp resulted in the Ohio State Night Large Formation and Sequential records as well as the first Night Jewel.
Mike lives in Florence, Kentucky with his wife Amy and his son Andrew. Mike loves his home DZ, Skydive Cincinnati, and also enjoys visiting other DZs to organize and help with tandems.
