My favorite thing...

The actual feeling and sensation of flying offers a freedom and peace of mind that is hard to put into words. I get to share this with people every day and I love it! The best part….the atmosphere at iFLY San Francisco Bay. I sit in my office and over hear customers leaving. They talk about how amazing their flight was, how much fun they had, how badly they want to do it again, and their desire to master tricks and flips that their instructor showed them after their flight session. It is an excitement that I feel partially responsible for as the General Manager.

The culture and atmosphere at iFLY SF Bay is full of smiles and laughter. I think back to some of the jobs I have had in the past and can’t recall a staff more fun or a product more unique. On days I feel especially over whelmed, a quick jump into the tunnel reminds me to get back to the core of what I do. I get the unique privilege of teaching people how to fly! How many people can say that? I love my team I work with and I love my job and I love to fly. I have gratitude because I know there are not many people out there that leave work every day with this kind of outlook.

While some only view it as flying, others are having their wildest dreams come true. Either way, everyone will agree it's a really cool experience. I personally enjoy being able to share flight with the world and seeing the light bulb go off in their head every single time when they “get it”. Putting smiles on people as young as 3 and as wise as 94 is something I don't think will ever get old or boring. iFLY Indoor Skydiving provides more than just a place to experience human flight. It provides good clean fun for friends, family and colleagues to bond and enjoy something unique together. Where else would you possibly want to!?
