"I love skydiving because of the challenge and freedom of pushing your mind, body and parachute to their limits and turning dreams into reality."

About Me

I am a career skydiver with a Bachelors Degree in Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I'm originally from Pennsylvania but now live in Florida. I am the co-founder and co-owner of The Alter Ego Project with my wife Jeannie. We are both professional competitive canopy pilots as well as professional canopy coach piloting coaches. My wife and I also run the United States Canopy Piloting Association league. It is the largest swoop league in the world and has been for over 20 years. Through the league, we have opportunities to nurture and grow newer competitors. We also run Alter Ego Adventures with our business partner Tim Parrant. AEA is an boogie company that allows skydivers to jump in exotic locations, while also focusing on experiencing the local cultures and travel experience on the ground.

Hi Inka I want to take the time to thank you for all your experience and knowledge. I’ve recently just started your bodywork course as I have recently just started coaching to be flying angles. this morning was my first solid stable angle exit out of 15 coaching jumps, All from using your hip alignment techniques help me along way. I can’t wait to see what improvements are coming next after I start the workouts.. Great course highly recommended!! 🤟🏼

I'm loving this course! Inka goes really in depth in how our body posture plays such an important aspect in our performance when we are flying. This course can be really useful and insightful to any kind of skydiver, from beginners to experienced flyers.

This course does and excellent job covering the fundamentals of wingsuiting. It will make you better prepared for your first flight course, and hit topics your instructor may unintentionally miss. The course will also refresh/reinforce concepts for experienced wingsuit pilots.

"It is hard to find someone to get you to that next level. Unless you have a lot of money it's really, really difficult to better yourself at the rate we all want to better ourselves. This is something that has been a long time coming in the skydiving world that people have wanted and it's finally being done and it's being done the right way."

"I just finished the canopy course and I learned a ton! You basically covered everything from novice to expert aside from the mechanics of a swoop turn itself which is too variable to streamline. Great stuff, nice job!"
