I am the Director of Skydive Specialists LTD and am currently engaged in multiple projects that involve research, development, and manufacturing of innovative products.

My expertise includes designing, cutting, and manufacturing using various types of sewing machines. This encompasses an understanding of areas susceptible to increased wear and tear, as well as where maximum tension may occur, allowing for the incorporation of enhanced support such as reinforced stitching or superior materials.

Mission Impossible: Fallout

I had the privilege of contributing to the film Mission Impossible: Fallout for a year, being involved from the early stages through to completion while performing various roles for the skydiving sequences.

Since my work on MI Fallout, I have continued to collaborate on numerous films and television projects in the capacity of a parachute rigger.

My responsibilities included the following tasks:

I was responsible for inspecting, assembling, and packing all parachute equipment. Throughout the filming process, we completed over 100 jumps, and I managed the packing of equipment once the skydive stunt team had landed.

I constructed various functional items, including bags designed for the convenient storage and transport of equipment.

Additionally, I assisted in the design and manufacture of specialized skydiving equipment, such as a harness specifically created for the substantial camera equipment utilized by one of the skydivers during the sequence.

We made several customizations to the skydiving gear, including the creation of pockets for radios and other necessary items.

Parachute Rigger

My primary work revolves around the design, manufacture, repair, and customization of skydiving equipment.

I also engage in research and development to enhance skydiving equipment, alongside other products, such as our jet speed flying apparatus.

I contributed to the design and construction of the speed flying harness, including fitting it to the jet frame. Currently, I service and maintain our range of jet packs.
