John, backpacking Chitty Falls John Verley's Page

Welcome to my page. I am an avid skydiver and hiker. My wife, Heather and I live in Phoenix, Arizona, with our daughter Mary Suzanne.

I am a payroll manager with Affiliated Computer Systems (ACS). I recently obtained my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the  University of Phoenix..

I am an active skydiver. I have been jumping since 1992. Currently, I have over 3200 jumps and 60 hours of freefall. I enjoy formation skydiving, in which Skydivers link up to form various formations while freefalling. In December 2002, I was a participant in the 300 person World Record Skydive. I am also am a Senior Parachute Rigger. This is an FAA designation that allows me to pack and maintain reserve parachutes.

I have been on a number of skydiving teams. In 2004, my 8-Way Team, Tornado, took a gold medal at the US Skydiving Nationals.
