“I completed my entire student progression at Skydive Orange and fell in love with the community, the quality of instruction, and the safety culture at the dropzone. I applied to be a coach in order to give back and do my best at continuing to foster the environment that made me feel accepted and welcomed as I took my first steps within the sport. I have a passion for developing other people’s skills from the basics to more advanced levels. I am lucky to be able to call Skydive Orange my home!” – Marko Pilepich
