Non USA Jumpers Who are USPA Members....
*The following message is endorsed by Chuck Peters* Hey guys, looking for a little help here....the USPA is currently having elections for the upcoming board and yours truly is running for the Central Region Director.
If you are a USPA member who lives overseas you can still vote for ONE regional director and I would be honored if it were for me.
Obviously if you are a USPA member in MO, KS, IL, NE, IA I would also appreciate your vote.
You should have received an email today, if you haven't let me know.
I've attached my bio below, but in reality all you really need to know is that Chuck Peters endorses my "campaign."
Lets get a BASE jumper on the board.
I am running for the USPA Central Region Director. Below is my bio, please feel free to ask me any questions you may have for me. Thank you for your support.
Since my first jump over a decade ago, skydiving has made a powerful impact on my life. After obtaining my license, I became a “student” again, earning Coach, Tandem, AFF, and PRO ratings. With each new pursuit came the renewed realization of how amazing and vast our sport is, and how much there is to learn and achieve yet.
Currently I work at various Kansas dropzones as General Manager, instructor and photographer. I am also a Level I Tunnel Instructor for iFly and Head Coach for Men’s and Women's Crew at the University of Kansas. For three years I represented the Great Plains region from Minnesota to Texas for the American Collegiate Rowing Association and was active on the Eligibility and Awards Committee. ACRA oversees 100+ collegiate rowing programs.
Primarily, I foresee that my contribution on the USPA Board could focus on helping shape the direction we are going with safety and training, by supporting education efforts as preferable to regulation. Also, my degrees and experience in business and finance could be useful for Membership Services, Finance or Group Membership committees, and I would contribute however my prior experience would benefit the organization.
I see my primary obligation to the Central Region as two-fold: distribution of information for upcoming USPA issues, and collecting my constituents’ opinions and ideas and make sure they are heard. This is a proactive job, not a passive position.
I am an open book and happy to answer any questions.
