I met Mike 20 years ago at Gold Coast skydivers in Moss Point Mississippi. He would bring the king air down for Boogies several times a year. I got married (met my wife skydiving), had four kids and fell out of skydiving. We promised our oldest daughter that we would take her skydiving when she turned sixteen, assuming static line was still in vogue. After several hours of calling around and searching Google, I found Mike was the only person willing and able to take a sixteen year old on a tandem. Scheduling the jump was fast and easy. We drove from Central Florida (13 hours) on Friday July 5th and spent the day skydiving on Saturday. I had not made a jump in 13 years, but I got my reserve repacked before we left Florida and hoped for the best. Mike and his staff were wonderful; I made one recurrence jump with a coach and made a cameo appearance in my daughter’s tandem video the following jump. They even sang happy birthday to her in the plane. It could not have been better. I ended up making six or seven jumps and we had a blast the whole day. From Danny the rigger (who helped me with a few last minute gear issues), John the tandem instructor, to Will the videographer and every one in between, the staff was down to earth, friendly and professional. It was like coming home again. It was priceless. Thanks Mike!!! Al D-18876
