Parachute Rigging

I pack and maintain all types of parachutes in common use, including sport and emergency equipment. My customers include skydivers, aerobatic pilots, glider pilots, and warbird pilots, flying everything from Citabrias to Reno racers to jet warbirds. If you have a parachute need I can probably help you out.

Jump Pilot

I am an experienced jump pilot with time in the Cessna 182 and 206, as well as the PAC750. I have flown skydivers at dropzones all over the Midwest, for off-airport demonstration jumps, and in airshows across the country including Airventure.

Unlike most jump pilots I am familiar with operations under an FAA 7711-2 waiver, airshow operations, and as a skydiver and PRO Rating holder I have done dozens of demo jumps myself. If you are doing a demo in the Chicago or Milwaukee area and need a pilot, please reach out.
