Q&A with Chris Whitley, General Manager

When and how did you first develop a passion for your work?
Skydiving has been our passion for more than 50 years. The thrill of skydiving (falling toward the earth at 120 mph) can only be experienced through actually jumping out of an airplane. We love sharing and teaching others about our sport.

What is one fun, unusual fact about your business?
Freefall is a great place to hang out with your friends.

What is the one feature of your business that you're most proud of?
Our owners have a combined 50 years of experience. One was a national competitor with more than 9,000 safe skydives, and the other a Tandem Examiner with more than 9,000 safe tandem jumps.

Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
Most people can skydive, provided they are height-weight proportionate and serious about learning and safety.
