Since his first jump on June 6, 1993, he has been an active mentor to new and old skydivers alike in both CSPA and the sport of skydiving. He has worked in the sport since his 10th jump, beginning as a packer and manifest, then working his way up the ranks by earning almost every possible CSPA rating. He achieved his JM rating in 2000, tandem and SSI in 2004, SSE in 2007, and tandem examiner since 2016. He has also been instrumental in the rigging scene in Alberta since 2004.

Now, with almost 29 years of service to the sport at the local and provincial levels, he has made a measurable impact on the sport by earning his CSPA C, USPA D, FAA senior rigger, CSPA rigger rating, Cl, C2, JM, GCI, SSI, SSE, PFF, and strong tandemexaminer ratings. He regularly volunteers to help course conductors with evaluationjumps for C1, C2, and PFF courses, and has most recently taken on the secretaryrole with the Alberta Sport Parachuting Association since 2021.

There isn’t a skydiver in the province who hasn’t been influenced by his kind and knowledgeable approach to teaching and he always makes himself available for any questions and safety briefings on the dropzone. His quiet leadership has impacted skydiving in a proliferative way and he continues to be a role model for new skydivers in terms of sport safety, skill development, and ongoing dedication to the sport

Although involved commercially in Flight One and canopy control training courses, both in the US and Canada, his expertise has, nevertheless, been instrumental in the development of canopy control techniques and specifically in CP training techniques that have greatly benefitted and advanced the CP discipline here in Canada.

He has been a 'go-to guy' for CP topics, rules, training and national team make-up and has assisted the Competition and National Teams Committee on these topics over the years. He is an avid coach as well as Tandem Instructor, AFF Instructor, Wingsuit Instructor and is PRO Exhibition rated.

In the 80’s she was a member of the Competition and National Teams Committee (CNTC) for numerous years.

2020 - Izzy Perry

Izzy has continuously helped grow the community by organizing events and hosting competitions and jumping with novices. Izzy also helps coaches and instructor candidates with practice jumpers and developing their skills for upcoming ratings. At the provincial level she has been an active member on the board of ASPA for ages and helped create and develop many skydiving projects, competitions and competitors effectively. She has also helped ASPA continue as an effective organization through thick and thin in the past.

On a national level, Izzy has worked diligently with CSPA and for CSPA in developing manuals and helping bridge the gap between the old and new thinking skydivers. She has helped us perpetuate our sport and allowed us to move head with open mindedness as well as keeping ware of safety practices and training techniques that have a proven track record.

I believe the people that are involved more directly with CSPA have seen how much work she has put in and the positive effects that she has created at the national level.

Open minded, well grounded, effectively helpful skilled instructor willing to facilitate all needs of individuals in our sport. Looking at where we would be at a dropzone level, the provincial level and the national level without her, there would be huge gaps in training, competition and fundamental support throughout our sport in Canada.
