Mike grew up in Baldwinsville, NY and started skydiving in 1992. He worked in sales and marketing for a local bank while skydiving on the weekends. In 1997 he decided to leave banking to follow his love of skydiving and moved to Las Vegas to become a full time skydive instructor. While visiting and working at skydive centers around the country Mike found that many were lacking quality instruction and continuing education for their instructors.
hell yeah!
Jeff Whitt, also known as "Fluffy", the Chief Instructor at Skydive Central New York with over 6000 jumps under his belt, grew up in central Ohio where he began jumping 7 years ago. With similar approach to life and his future being similar to Mike's, he had decided to pursue skydiving instead of accounting - the idea of the unappealing prospect of sitting behind an accountant's desk all day was far less appealing than his overwhelming love and desire to skydive.
