Episode 47: Jeff Provenzano, Skydiver

Published: March 18, 2019, 9:45 a.m.

b'Jeff Provenzano studied at New York City\\u2019s School of Visual Arts, but the last thing he wanted to do after college was get a job in graphic design. After taking a break from the books and tackling his first tandem jump with friends, he was absolutely hooked. In episode 47, we talk about the #hurdlemoment he faced post-grad, diving head first into his passions (pun intended), relocating to Arizona and buying a trailer to work at the no. 1 skydive school in the country. More than 20,000 jumps later, he\\u2019s one of the pioneers of the high-speed, high-stakes skydiving discipline of swooping and just can\\u2019t get enough. We chat about how he hooked up with Red Bull Air Force, what it\\u2019s like to train government agents, and the insane jump he did landing on a barge in the Hudson River.\\n\\nSOCIAL@jeffprovenzano@redbullairforce@hurdlepodcast@emilyabbate\\n\\nOFFERSATHLETICS GREENS | Head to athleticgreens.com/hurdle to get 20 free travel packs ($99 value) with your first purchase, no code necessary.\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hurdle/message'
