Skydiving
Stuck on a mind-bender? There's nothing like jumping out of an airplane to clear your mind and regroup!
I first jumped out of a perfectly good airplane in 2011, and began wingsuit flying in 2014. In the same year, I became a National record holder in formation flying (Canada), and a year later, a World record holder. Our team of 61 wingsuit flyers was featured as the center-fold of the Guinness Book of World Records in 2018.
