Robert's Story
Life
I am a senior vice president at CitiBank. I retired from skydiving after doing it for 41 years and making over 7000 jumps. I am married to a beautiful Chinese woman and have a young daughter, Jenifer. I recently moved to Texas for Citi.
I always wanted to be very successful when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a crazy idea. As it turns out, they were wrong.
I relax by skydiving. It is how I remove the worries of the world.
I never had heros growing up. I did not believe in that. I always just try to be the best I can be at what I do. That is all I have control over.
My first job was at Burger King, where I got paid very little to clean up. What I remember most about it is I was fired because I called in to go surfing.

he river road.
It is great to be young. Never hurry to grow up. It will happen and you do not want to have regrets.
My current age is 60. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be to old to do what I do. I was so completely wrong.
I have accomplished a lot in my career. I travel the world and have seen many beautiful places. I would like to continue to work hard and play hard and watch my daughter grow up and become successful in all aspects of her life. I plan to retire in the next couple of years.
I dress much more formal now than I did 10 plus years ago. Living in the North East enables me to dress much differently than I did in Florida.
2008 US Nationals Skydiving Championships. Silver Medal. 2006 World Skydiving Record 400 Way.
In 10 years, I will be retired and enjoying life with my family.
