Farrington has been flying since before he was born in 1979. His mom, Jessie, made about 100 jumps while he was in utero. (Maybe that explains why he’s such a natural in the sky.)

Obsessed with flying from childhood, he made his first tandem skydive at age 12 and his first solo jump – actually 15 of them – on his 16th birthday, squeezing in his driving test as well. He’s never looked back.
