January 7th 2011 - Happy new year!

- Maureen got a new camera from Santa Claus so expect more videos (of my pretty face). I now auto update this site with Twitter and YouTube. Feel free to follow both accounts. I'm moving all remaining videos to the YouTube cloud so download them now if you want them.

December 19th 2010 - Maureen 200th Skydive!

- Congratulations to Maureen for doing her 200th skydive.

- Here is Maureen's Top 10 Advice and Quotes that helped her get to 200 jumps. Enjoy!

December 5th 2010 - iPhone and Android Support

- I added some code to this website so it can support iPhone and Android users. They will see a mobile Nav Bar, big text and better links to YouTube videos.

December 4th 2010 - Skydive SW Florida Boogie

- The wife and I had a blast at Skydive SW Florida boogie yesturday. We got a L&B Solo, Discount off gear we need and free T-Shirts. The wife and I competed in the baton pass/accuracy contest. Were on different teams and didn't win but had lots of fun.

August 26th 2010

- I have added a couple of videos from jumps at Skydive Miami. Maureen and I are going to the Coach Freeks Boogie for our honeymoon. Maureen is working on her coach rating. You can find us skydiving at Miami until Punta Gorda season opener.

July 26th 2010 - TomTom GO 630 Review

- My new favorite toy is the TomTom 630 GO with the Snoop Dog voice. This little $165 GPS for the car has made finding and going long distance to DropZones much easier. It'll also tell you all the locale restaurants based on your current location. I live near a town that doesn't allow street signs for businesses and this made it easy to find the Red Lobster and Movie Theater. Once you connect the TomTom to the computer you can download the Snoop Dog from the voices section and the DropZones from the Point Of Interest. Works with PCs and Macs.

July 1st 2010 - F**king Hackers

- Sorry about the lack of updates. I have been fighting automated hackers hitting my site. The site is fully functional again.

March 27th 2010 - Skydive Miami Dropzone Review

- Maureen and I jumped at Skydive Miami for the 1st time together. They welcomed us right in and Fred gave us a tour. They have two A/C packing rooms! They own a nice quick Caravan (no windows) that takes under 20 minutes to get to altitude. The jumpers land in separate area then get bussed back to Manifest but at least you take off at Manifest. They had a good mix of about 20 jumpers when we went. We can't wait to go back.

January 1st 2010 - Happy new year!

- Christmas was very good to our family. Maureen and I are now working at new jobs! Who says you can't quit your crappy job and find a new one in a recession?

November 30th 2009 - Boogie Update

- I won the wife a ProTrack by getting second place in L&B accuracy at the SkyFest boogie. Maureen got her picture in the Charlotte Sun by landing on the accuracy target (in front of the news reporter).

September 30th 2009 - Parachutist Magazine

August 29th 2009

- Roy's 35th also made it in Parachutist Sept 2009 on page 20!

August 21st 2009 - Dropzone Review

- Skydive SW Florida says they'll have the Caravan (with windows) back earlier this year. Around October/November. It's a friendly grass-strip Dropzone with great fly over views of Port Charlotte, Gulf Of Mexico and right next to the Peace River. Also the Best Western has a good $89 rate and attached to a restaurant that has cheap and tasty surf n turf (around $15). So make it a point to check this place out anytime.

August 14th 2009

- Blue Skies Mag did an article on Roy's 35th Skydiving Anniversary. It has picture of some of us doing our free static line jump at Skydive SW Florida.

- Skydive SW Florida is offering the unbelievable deal of free ground school for those wanting to join the crazy world of skydiving! I think that's a $75 savings and I have no idea how long it'll last. They are a nice DropZone to learn at with great instructors and friendly skydivers.

August 8th 2009 - Maureen's 100th!!!

- Maureen did her 100th jump at Punta Gorda and paid dearly for it. The gang pied Erik (100th also) and Maureen. See the pictures!

June 22nd 2009

- Maureen and I are having fun visiting the Florida Dropzones (skydiving airports). We jumped at Sebastian the last two weekends. We plan on visiting Titusville and Lakeland in the next few months. Also plan on returning to Punta Gorda for Maureen's 100th.

June 15th 2009

- Maureen: Thanks for the great skydive in Sebastian this weekend. Was great to see old friends and meet many new ones. Loved spotting and jumping out of the same PAC I trained in. Great weekend!!!

May 31st 2009

- Maureen is closing in on 100 jumps. On only her 12th sit-fly jump she was able to hold the sit for the whole jump. Which is impressive because we haven't been jumping a lot lately and the last sit-fly jump was before the wedding.

May 18th 2009 - Wedding Videos!!!

- The Wedding DVD is done. I'll be bringing a bunch to Punta Gorda this weekend.

Please don't be upset or take it personal that you were not invited to the wedding. Maureen and I wanted a small wedding and we didn't invite any friends or family. Thank you very much to all the well wishes.
