quick q&a before
kids

kids
, but they
don
?t spend real time with their
kids
and they
don
?t love on them or play with them. they act up when they want attention. so many parents are so focused on themselves and social media that they
don
?t do stuff with their
kids
. do life with them. how did you get into
skydiving
? c: my dad and i were playing golf when i was a senior in high school. i heard an engine cut off and saw a skydiver jump out. i knew i wanted to do it. we went that same day to see what i had to do. we set it up for that summer. i was hooked. it?s an endless learning curve. the best guys in the world still haven?t touched what?s possible. there are so many different disciplines in
skydiving
. when i competed, i competed in canopy piloting. i competed in the 2010 world championships on the u.s. team in russia. when you get a passion like that, it?s so interesting the people you meet and the places you go. what does
skydiving
teach you about life? c: it doesn?t matter what you?ve
don
e or who you are, it matters what type of person you are. it?s such a diverse sport. you can have something in common with everybody. it?s freedom.
skydiving
has also been my number one ministry. do you expect your girls to follow in your passion? c: i
don
?t really want them to skydive, but i?m fine if they do. whatever they?re doing, i want them to do it the best they can. do you consider yourself a daredevil? and what has that taught you about parenting? c: i am a calculated risk taker. i do daredevil stuff, but i
don
?t do something until i?ve looked at every angle. most people would think i?m crazy for doing it, but i know the consequences. i think it?s great to take risks, as long as you are taking the right risks. anybody that is successful takes risks. it?s okay to fail, but you have to learn from them. ? j a n u a r y 2 0 1 8 | b r p a r e n t s . c o m 3 9
