Started skydiving in 2006 while attending college to become a pilot. Began competing in 2009 and founded Team Alter Ego towards the end of that season.

Competitions are won when no one is watching. When your bent over dripping sweat and pushing through the pain. That is where the great become the best, the best become champions, and champions become legends.

On the left, competition win #1 (3rd comp of my career). On the right, competition win #50...10 years later.
Special shoutout to Rick and Lisa Hornsby for being my first sponsor through Skydive Air Adventures and paying my registration costs so I could compete. They also convinced Julio Ruiz to sponsor me with Liquidsky in the very beginning so I could stop wearing motocross pants to compete 🤣🤣🤣. Those guys have believed in me since everyone thought I was sketchy!!! 💪🤘💪🤘

Went WAY too full send on the first round and skipped off the water 🤣🤣🤘 Came back strong, but that’s what the training rounds are for. This is a very unique venue with different challenges but I’ll get it sorted for tomorrow. 🤘💙💪

Finally back home after a month in Europe with this amazing chick. I am so lucky to have her in my life. 2 Golds and a Bronze at the World Championships 🥇🥇🥉, could have been better, could have been worse. A few days of much needed rest and then I can’t wait to get back to training. I’ll be back 💪💙🤘. I absolutely love this sport.
Time to shred! What a group!!! 🤘💙💪

Nerd Out On Numbers With Us! Posted on March 15, 2018March 15, 2018 by Alter EgoNerd Out On Numbers With Us! The 2018 season for canopy piloting just got under way with the first FLCPA meet just a few weeks ago, and as the MotoGP season is about to start tomorrow, the team thought it would be fun to be a bunch of nerds and comp...
In 2013 fighting for the FLCPA season overall win and I had a hard landing in Zone Acc causing 2 fractures in my Tibia and tears in both my ACL and Meniscus. The two landings at the end are the following jumps which I stood up even with those injuries. Right after the gopro cuts out I changed my mind about being ok and grabbed my knee and said "I think I just hurt myself". I managed to stay ahead of Greg Windmiller and win the season.

The 2018 season has officially started. I am very excited about this year and can’t wait to push forward! Congrats to Greg Windmiller for his win and Mario Fattoruso on his podium in his first showing as a PDFT member, awesome flying guys! I am disappointed with my flying to say the least, it was the sloppiest I have flown in a long time but I am still walking away happy. I have been working really hard both in the air and on the ground and my fitness level is higher than it was even at the beginning of last season and my shoulder is no longer hampering my flying. My mistakes were all on me. I learned a long time ago that through a long career the most important thing is getting on the box on your bad days. Congrats to our new teammate Alex Hart for his 4th place finish to kick off his first year as a pro, everyone in front of him is a top 10 pilot at the world level. Awesome job also goes to my wife Jeannie Bartholomew on her first comp doing a new turn. Once she get some more experience in comps she is going to be a force to reckon with. Can’t wait for this season to progress and for Team Alter Ego Fastrax to attack it full force!

2nd iteration!!! During our training camp last week at Skydive Sebastian I stepped it up a notch and put down a 206 METER Distance run 🤩🤩🤩 Same canopy as last time and with 103.2 MPH horizontal speed 1.5 meters off the ground! I'm rebuilding my shoulder one day at a time and this was the first day in training since my injury that I could get back to leaning forward on rears normal-ish and actually start focusing on my body position again. HUGE thanks to Nancy Noelle Grieger for all the help with physio to get me back up and running. It's game on for 2018 💪💪💪
