About
Braden Roseborough is a skydiver, BASE jumper, and helicopter pilot from Washington State in the USA. He is also a Senior Parachute Rigger and an Accelerated Free Fall Instructor who teaches people how to complete their first skydives. Once students have enough skydiving experience, he also teaches wingsuit first flight courses where they can fly a wingsuit for the first time.
This experience has afforded him the ability to participate in extraordinary events and projects. This space was created to share that work with anyone interested in the projects he is building.
"When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself."Jacques Yves Cousteau
His professional background is in geospatial software engineering. After working for Amazon Prime Air in its foundational years, his GIS expertise carried into personal projects where he applies geospatial science to his passion for airsports.
