BIO
About me. 48, 3 fantastic Sons. Have had more adventurous blood in my veins. My entire life. I live in S. Utah and Northern UT. Have been self employed most of my adult life. Have built up a few companies and sold them. The most recent was about 3 years ago. Soft retired at that time. I have always done my best to build a life that allows me to always say YES or Yes! Lets make it happen. My life as it pertains to Paramotoring. About 25 yrs ago, I got the I need to fly bug. There is a LZ near my home in SLC. I took lessons, borrowed gear, then within a week, I made a very Obvious mistake that simply just didn't click at the time. My instructor Steve Mayer- Cloud 9. Landed me safely through radio. I was embarrassed that my brain didn't click as to what I was doing wrong and realized that it could have been deadly. That same week, I watched 2 paragliders get tangled while ridge soaring and the both grounded. (Alive). At that point I gave up on furthering my paragliding. Fast forward to 2020. I still had the bug to fly. Knew nothing about Paramotoring. Saw a FB ad from St George Paramotor. I was free from work or financial burdens, so I met with the instructors told them to order what they would buy themselves and started the instruction. I have a very high risk tolerance, I breezed through their instruction and was in the air after about 5-6 days. I felt confident in the air. Started flying with others. Then in Oct 2021, Flying by myself. I took a decent fall from a full wing collapse, around 90ft. It took me about 6 months to get myself/body back in the air. Then I made it a Goal to be well enough to do the trip to Egypt over the anniversary date of my fall. 😁. I made it happen!

BIO: Growing up on a ranch in rural Idaho close to friends and family that owned GA aircraft sparked my love of all things aviation. My best memories are of climbing into those aircraft every opportunity I had. My chance to fly came 15 years ago when my Dad and I bought a hang glider trike. When I moved to Maricops Arizona 9 years ago I was excited to find AirParamo right down the street from my house! I took one flight and was instantly hooked. After saving money for years I was able to purchase a paramotor and my journey began. In 2015 I became an assistant instructor with Mo at AirParamo and eventually ventured out on my own starting WindPirate PPG.
My dad had a saddle and custom leather shop so I was already very familiar with commercial sewing. Failing to find any high quality covers on the market at the time for my paramotor I decided to make one. Others in my flight group were impressed and the orders started coming in. I began making and selling custom paramotor covers, kiting harnesses and other items. After finishing my apprenticeship with Mo in 2017, I began training and providing paramotor equipment full time by traveling to the Northwest in the summer and training in Arizona in the winter.

Hi, I'm Avery, I'm 27. My parents are both hot air balloon pilots, and I've been flying anything I can since I was 4 months old. I was first introduced to ppg when someone foot launched along side a hot air balloon flight I was crewing for, then rediscovered it watching Tucker. In 2019 I taught myself kiting, then went to Mojo's Flight School in Charlotte NC and got PPG2 rated. My first flight was in February 2022, and I'm coming up on 80 flights and 30 hours. I have a fascination with flying on the bare minimum of power and I'm most famous for my Chinese AliExpress paramotor saga.
