Meet the Skydive Academy Team

About me

Born to cook, but destined to Skydive.

Hi! I've been skydiving since 2003 and still love every second in the sky. Over the years, I've competed in accuracy landing and paraski - and even brought home a bronze medal from the Paraski World Championship.

I'm a USPA Tandem Instructor, a CCAA Static Line Instructor, and a DFV-certified Senior Rigger. But more than anything, I'm passionate about sharing the thrill of skydiving with others.

My goal? To create as many skydivers as possible - and make sure they're well-fed too! I love cooking for my students and believe that good food and good vibes belong right next to good jumps.

About me

No fence can hold me in.

Hey there! I was born in Dubrovnik and now call Zagreb home — though I spend most of my time somewhere between altitude and ground. I hold a USPA Coach rating and am here to support students, help the team, and secretly collect enough knowledge to one day become everyone's favorite instructor.

I'm passionate about teaching, and my long-term goal is to become an instructor who's equal parts calm, competent, and caffeinated. Whether it's helping someone nail their first exit or figure out why their flare feels off — I'm here for it.

When I'm not skydiving, you can usually find me racing karts, running through the woods in airsoft gear, or elbow-deep in another fun project. Whatever it may be, you are always welcome to jump in and join!

About me

Always lacking vitamin A(irplane)

Got the nickname after series of unexpected airplane malfunctions happened around me in a short period of time. Don't worry, I probably won't be flying you to your jump - I teach others to do that. I'm a full time flight instructor and examiner for single engine and multi engine piston airplanes in both visual and instrumental flying conditions as well as one of few instructors for advanced upset prevention and recovery training.

I accumulated over 2000 flying hours in my career, of those almost 500 skydiving flights. Somewhere along the way, I got addicted to skydiving and now I'm a B licensed skydiver.

Passionate about flying, increasing aviation safety and more flying.

First jump: April 2020, Lučko, Croatia

Favorite aircraft: AN-2 or maybe Air Tractor ('cause it's so beautifully ugly)

Skydiving life sountrack: Celine Dion - You and I

Favorite book: Green Mile - Stephen King

Favorite TV show: Grey's Anatomy

Hobbies outside flying: Flying, skydiving, teaching flying, reading, studying flying

Pets: Bunnies Dolly, Lucky, Gric, Mi-8 and various spiders in the apartment

Favorite flight: 4-day transatlantic flight via Iceland and Greenland in a single engine airplane

About me

Married to one, related to another, and constantly amazed by the third.

Unlike the others, I operate firmly on the ground and leave the thrill-seeking to them.

I'm the “mom” of the group offering emotional support, calming nerves before jumps, and making sure everyone's okay. I also provide the spaces that keep the academy running such as the classroom, the rigger's loft, and even a place to crash if someone needs to stay overnight.

And when I'm not keeping tabs on the three overgrown adrenaline junkies, I manage my two actual kids, trying to sprinkle a little routine into all the altitude. That said, my daughter already has her eyes on her dad's adrenaline-fueled lifestyle... so I might be outnumbered sooner than I thought.

First jump: Vrsar, 2008 (first and last one)

Skydiving life sountrack: “Slow song” by The Knocks

Favorite movie: The Nightmare Before Christmas
