Our Amazing Skydiving Professionals

I've been Jumping since April of 2009. I have about 425 jumps and 20 hours of tunnel time. I own a labradoodle and wear black socks. During the week, I'm an accountant.

I have over 2,000 skydives and this is my third year working at Skydive Orange.

I came out in 2007 to do a tandem jump with some friends. I fell in love with skydiving and progressed through the AFF program to get my license. I have approximately 200 jumps and I jump on weekends whenever I'm not working.

I made my first jump at Skydive Orange in March of 1990. I've been skydiving ever since. I now have 21 years in sport and have made over 5,000 skydives.

I was born in Uruguay in 1968.  I have over 1,000 skydives and I have been jumping at Orange for the last 8 years.  I carry ratings for both Strong and SIGMA tandem equipment.

I have approximately 8,000 jumps, most of which are tandem jumps. I have also worked as an AFF Instructor and videographer, competed in formation skydiving, and I am a senior rigger.

In addition to being an AFF and Tandem master, I am also a Tandem Examiner, a Skydive University Coach Examiner, and a pilot. I've made more than 8,000 skydives since 1976. I joined the Skydive Orange instructional team in 1997 and now live in the town of Orange.

I am a home-grown Orange instructor, having started with my first tandem jump at Orange in July 2007 and completing my A license in February 2008. I have over 1,100 jumps made throughout the United States. I am also a multi-engine instrument instructor pilot (MEI-I, CFI-I), fully qualified as a Twin Otter jump pilot, and am able to provide the regular pilot a break from the cockpit on long, hot summer days. Since March of 2009, I have been honored to serve as a member of the Skydive Orange Board of Directors and have been the President of the SOI club since October 2009.

I have over 7,000 jumps and I'm a full-time instructor at Orange.

I did my first skydive in November 1998 and was immediately hooked. My first few years I did a lot of RW and shot lots of video. Then in 2003 I became an AFF instructor and have been jumping with students ever since! I have worked as an AFF Instructor, Videographer, Coach and Manifest.  I am a VA State Record holder and VA Women's State Record holder in formation skydiving. When I'm not jumping with students or doing RW, I'm trying to learn how to freefly. I look forward to jumping with you at Orange!

My first jump was in May of 1980, and since then I've accumulated 8,500 jumps and 114 hours of freefall time. I have 6,000 AFF jumps, 700 video jumps, and 350 tandem jumps. In addition to training students from their first jump through licensing, I am also one of 22 people authorized in the world to train and certify AFF Instructors in accordance with USPA standards.  I find this work to be as satisfying and rewarding as working with students. Many of the people I have certified were once students of mine! I am very proud to be part of the Skydive Orange staff. The instructional program here is by far the best I have ever had the pleasure to work within. I hope to see all of you at Skydive Orange sometime soon, and look forward to meeting you!

Although I have only been at Orange for the last 4 years, I've been skydiving for 18 years and have accumulated over 3,000 jumps. I've had 3 cutaways and I've done 7 BASE jumps. I look forward to sharing your skydiving experience!

I graduated from Orange's AFF program in January, 2008. I currently hold a USPA C license with 300+ jumps. I'm learning to freefly, but I love doing belly jumps and coaching students.

I did my first skydive in 2003 and since then have accumulated approximately 1,200 jumps.

I'm a badass with a sensitive side. I've got 120 jumps with 5 years in the sport. I started flying for Skydive Orange in 2010.

I currently have 500+ jumps and I now have my AFF Instructor's rating. I have been in the sport for 3+ years and love it more than anything!  I love to track and freefly when I am not working towards my other skydiving goals and canopy work is also lots of fun. Skydive Orange is a great place to learn to skydive with a great staff and plenty of fun jumpers to keep one entertained on the down time.

I made my first jump at Skydive Orange in 1993 on a dare from a friend. I was hooked immediately, and I've been there pretty much every weekend since. As soon as I could, I got my tandem, AFF, and static line instructor ratings, and later served as S&TA and on SOI's board for years.  I've accumulated roughly 6,000 jumps, am PRO rated,  I hold Single and Multi-Engine Instrument Commercial Pilot licenses (even flew jumpers for a while), and I also offer tunnel instruction. I highly encourage anyone thinking about making a jump to do so and not to be the person who is still just talking about doing it years from now. I'd love to tell you exactly what it's like, but it's beyond description. You'll have to come see for yourself!

I have accumulated about 350 jumps since starting in San Diego in July of 2009. I've been at Skydive Orange since November of 2009.  I enjoy campfires, writing and boogies!  Check out my blog PropBlasting.com.

I'm originally from the Netherlands, but now live in Arlington, VA, where I fly F-16s for the Air Force. I organize formation skydiving groups internationally and hold multiple large freefall formation world records. I also participate in canopy formation and camera flying.  In addition, I am a Skydive University Coach.

I started skydiving at Orange 3 years ago.  I've got 560 jumps and enjoy coaching. 

I have about 3,400 Jumps, 2300 of those are tandem jumps.  My first jump was in 1978.  I've been jumping regularly since 1992, and doing tandems since 1999. This is my third season at Orange.  Sadly, I'm only a weekend skydiver, and just another DC lawyer during the week.

I made my first skydive here at Orange in the spring of 2009 and have accumulated over 500 skydives and almost 100 BASE jumps since then. (BASE # 1511)  My disciplines of choice are wing suiting and tracking.  When I'm not skydiving, I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, snowboarding and any other reason to get out into the great outdoors! Hope to make a jump with you some day..... Blue Skies!

My name is Scottie-Bob...I pack tandems and jump regularly.  Wingsuits and BASE jumping are my current hobbies.  I live where the wind takes me.  Hope to see you in the sky someday!

I have been jumping for seven years and have over 2,700 jumps and my Pro-Rating.  I'm a longtime native of and currently reside in Orange, Virginia with my wife and three daughters.  I currently work in Charlottesville as a district manager for Farmers Insurance Group.  Formerly, I was a sales manager for my family's local auto dealership and an officer in the United States Army.  I graduated from The College of William and Mary in 1994 and Fork Union Military Academy in 1990. I'm a former Skydive Orange Board member, serving as Vice President and President.

I have been jumping at Orange for 10+ years and I have done a little bit of everything around here. Currently, I'm an AFF Instructor, packer, and work manifest.  I'm also the club treasurer .... Come join the fun!"

I got my A license at Skydive Orange in 2004 and since then I have accumulated more than 800 jumps. I live in Laurel, MD and when I'm not skydiving, I'm a rocket scientist working at NASA.

I've been jumping at Orange for 16 years and working as an AFF Instructor for 9 years. I have 3,100 jumps.

I started packing at Skydive Orange in August of 2010. I graduated from the AFF program in March of 2011 and I have 85 jumps.

I started skydiving at Skydive Orange in July 2010, and have literally jumped right into the sport. If I’m not at Skydive Orange jumping or at manifest, I’m at home in Takoma Park, MD hanging out with my dog, Doba.

I started skydiving in 2003 in North Carolina shortly before I moved to Virginia and joined the Orange family.  Since obtaining my license, I’ve made about 700 skydives at various dropzones in the U.S., including Ohio, Indiana, Arizona, North Carolina and beautiful Virginia.  Skydiving is one of life’s great experiences.  I love taking an AFF student on their first jump or shooting video of a Tandem student and seeing them have the experience of a lifetime.  So get off the couch and JUMP!

I've been skydiving for over 35 years.  blue skies -

I was born and raised in Orange County and have lived here all my life. I made my first skydive at Orange and it's always been my home DZ. I have over 5,000 jumps.

I'm a newly licensed jumper (graduated from Skydive Orange's AFF program in July 2011) who paid for my AFF jumps through packing tandem, students, and fun jumper rigs. I've been packing at Orange for over a year.

I did my first skydive in June of 1998. I have around 240 jumps but spend most of my weekends packing tandem rigs so that all of our tandem visitors can jump.

I have over 3,000 jumps and I've been working at Orange since 1979.
