60th anniversary of first jump

December 2nd will be the 60th anniversary of the first of my 2000+ jumps.  Like anyone in this sport I had my share of misadventures and was recently encouraged to chronicle them.  I just completed Bad Decisions Make Great Stories and it appeared on Amazon yesterday in paperback.  Skydiving is the focus of the book but my misadventures in ski racing, snowboard racing, unicycling, sailing, flying etc are featured as well. The Kindle version is forthcoming.  If you got into the sport in the sixties or seventies, you'll be able to relate.

Holy crap Brother, you're a real legend. Good on you and good luck.

BRAVO  KICK A$$

Congrats! Thanks for posting that. I love the FJC cert.

Happily the book is off to a good start with sales in the US, UK, France, and Poland.

Update:  I narrated the Audiobook.  It's now on Audible, iTunes, and Amazon

There is a link to listen to a chapter for free and another link to let you read the first chapter also for free.

I just purchased a copy on Amazon. I love skydiving stories that are from before my time and I am looking forward to the read.

Thanks for sharing your stories!

March 31, 2023 was the 50th anniversary of my first jump.
