- Early years
- In my early years, I grew up in Pine Hills, Florida.I attended Valencia college. I switched majors and completed three academic degrees. When I was a little older, I worked a Disney World. I also majored in computer science. When I was really young, I loved the Apollo program and my family wound watch launched.
- I joined google in 2002. I was the senior vice president of the knowledge department. One of the people I worked with was Arnitabh Srivastava, we worked on ATOMS. May retire from google. I worked for a start up computer company in the Silicon Valley for 15 years. I started the Second Harvest Bank and Anita Borg Scholarship Fund, which were the two charities I got google involved with.
- Professional Career
- I worked for the Paragon Space Development Corp for 3 years preparing for the jump. I had to wear a pressure suit so I will be able to breath oxygen up in the stratosphere. The launch was in New Mexico.I had to use a hot air balloon to ascend. While I was up there, I set the record for the highest free fall jump.
- Stratosphere Jump
- The air balloon that I used was filled with 35,000 cubic feet of helium. To start falling, I used an explosive device to disconnect from the rope. When falling, I performed two slow back flips in the air. I also broke the speed of sound and created a sonic boom.
- Stratosphere Jump
- I think that if I was going to go on one more great adventure, I think that I would fly to the moon. But, I would do it in a rocket, not with a hot air balloon.
