Why I coach

It's a rewarding form of progressing my own skills while being connected to a new generation of flyers in a sport/community that helped me find purpose and a healthy lifestyle. To be a credible source of information/guidance in a sport that has so much grey area in progression. Without such guidance, the sport becomes more dangerous than it really needs to be and more expensive while new flyers fiddle away trying to figure things out (although that's great at the right times and in the right doses).

Disciplines Coached:

Philosophy of Coaching:

Understand the student and adapt. Zoom out, paint a whole picture, then zoom in to the puzzle pieces, then zoom back out and repeat. Blend knowledge and experience from all forms of flying - especially bodyflight and parachutes (paragliding, speedflying, parakiting).

Organizing Experience:

Regular weekend warrior fun jumping and boogies. All skills levels.
