3 x F.A.I World Champion, Dad, husband and flying squirrel.🐿️ 🚀 Wingsuiting is a very unique element to the sport of skydiving.

After seeing videos of people flying wingsuits in television commercials I instantly knew I wanted to fly. I had started the learning process back in 1999 but couldn't afford to complete all the jumps in the Accelerated Freefall Course. It wasn't until much later, October 2010 whilst working on a Super Yacht in Italy that I could afford to skydive on a regular basis and from that point on, I have based my life around being able to fly as much as possible. It gives the participants the ability to travel large distances and spend far greater amounts of time in the air compared to any other discipline. With increased horizontal speeds and large inhibiting suits, there also comes inherent elevated risks and for this reason jumpers must have a very sound level of experience before any attempt should be made. With a minimum of 200 skydives and the correct skill set it is possible to take a First Jump Course for wingsuiting, that's where the fun begins! As a BASE jumper, I waited a prudent amount of time, gaining the experience I thought necessary. I had over 1000 skydives before my first BASE Jump and nearly 200 wingsuit skydives before my first Base Jump in a wingsuit. As I continue in this field I hope to help progress the sport and be a safe and responsible influence to those who choose to follow on the same path.

Australian Gold Rush! 🥇

I came in to this competition with 2 goals:
1) Win the Speed task 🥇✅
2) Help Luke and Jason to bring home the National Team title. 🥇✅

With only 60 jumps in a comp suit over the past 12 months, I knew that being a genuine threat for the overall title was unlikely, I also knew how good those boys are flying too.

Even still, we almost pulled off a complete sweep of the podium with me finishing 4th overall, Luke took the overall win and Jason secured the bronze.

Thank you to all those that have supported me in the lead up to this event. These companies include: Squirrel , socialremedy.byronbay , Fly Cookie - Official , Sun Path Products , Vigil AAD , LB Altimeters and Australian Parachute Federation

A special thank you to Squirrel , who will always be the best and most supportive company a Wingsuit Pilot could wish for, I simply could not have competed without their help this year and socialremedy.byronbay for making it possible for me to get back in the gym to work on my strength in an amazing gym with top notch recovery resources.

I’m writing this now from back home in Australia, looking forward to spending more time with Reina and the boys instead of waiting all day to get training jumps at the dz.

Big thanks also to all the organisers, judges and competitors that made this possible. Not even a hurricane could stop us!

Interview with 9News Gold Coast ahead of the Wolrd Championships in October and the Pacific Airshow on August 14-16

A few years ago, I stepped away from competition to focus on the most important team, my family.

Since then, we’ve moved back to Australia, rebuilt our lives and started a new chapter. I honestly didn’t know if I’d ever compete again.

Now I’ve earned the opportunity to represent Australia at the 2026 World Championships.

This comeback means more to me than simply returning to competition. It’s a chance to wear the green and gold, bringing my skydiving career full circle and showing my kids that it’s possible to return to a dream after putting it on hold.

Preparing for a World Championship requires significant training, travel and accommodation costs. A fundraiser has been created to support the Australian Parachute Team as we prepare to take on the world.

Any donation, large or small, will help. Even sharing the campaign could put it in front of someone who is able to support us.

Please donate or share through the link in my bio.

Thank you for being part of the journey. 🇦🇺

After three years away from competition to focus on family, the comeback campaign is underway 🇦🇺

I’ve always worn basic sports tops under my wingsuit, but this year I’m paying closer attention to the small details that can help me perform, recover, and stay consistent.

First test with 2XU compression under the suit — and it’s already feeling like a step up.
