Dante grew up on the front range of the Colorado Rockies, in Boulder. His father would bring him to the local paragliding LZ to fly kites and to the airport to watch skydivers. This fueled his love of the sky and human flight. On his 18th birthday, Dante started skydiving, then BASE jumping shortly after, and then quickly picked up speed flying as well. Staying active in all things human flight since his first skydive, he has racked up over 1000 BASE jumps (with 300+ objects), several thousand speed flying flights, holds advanced paraglider ratings, and 3500+ skydives all at the ripe old age of 23. Out of all forms of flying, BASE remains his absolute favorite. Particularly on the lower side (down to sub 80’ (24m)) with the Hayduke series canopies and low free falls (in the 130’ (39m) range). Dante is passionate about future travels involving parachutes and great friends and lives with the student mindset, always trying to learn more, and helping others achieve their own goals in the human flight realm. Dante can be found mainly in the North American West with a nice set of short-shorts, a welcoming presence, and a constant willingness to help.
