Looking for a mentor in the southwest US
As the title describes, I am looking for a mentor. I am willing to travel, but would like to stay reasonably close to home. I will be more than happy to talk specifics regarding my experience, attitudes, and other important factors with any possible candidates. I know a very small number of BASE jumpers from my local DZ, most of whom are skydivers who have made some fixed object jumps, and thus would like to link up with someone who can share their experience to help me make my way into the world of BASE. I am open, ready to listen and learn, and come with utter humility.

If anyone is interested, I would greatly appreciate your time. I realize that I am asking for a lot here, but I am a great believer in "paying it forward". My PM box awaits!

PS: Beer and associated jump costs are on me. But most importantly, beer will be on me!

BASE jumpers don't drink beer. that is a skydiving thing.
