We speak skydiver.

Built by someone who’s actually on the load.

Rick Taylor made his first 10 skydives in the early 1990s — then life got in the way, and he never finished his license. He always meant to come back. In 2021, he did.

In between, he spent 20 years in tech — SaaS, sales, and product — building and scaling software businesses, with a university degree and two post-graduate credentials in the field. He knows how software actually gets designed, built, and sold.

Since coming back to the sky, he hasn’t slowed down: 1,100+ jumps, USPA Coach and Tandem Instructor ratings, and a working understanding of what a drop zone actually runs on — what jumpers want, and what “manifest’s down” means on a packed Saturday.

That combination is the entire point. Most agencies understand websites or skydiving. Rick built a career in one and spent years in the sky in the other — so when he designs a booking flow or a manifest tool, he isn’t guessing at how a DZ works. He’s been standing on that load.

He also runs jumpslut.com, an apparel brand and community platform in the sport. So skydive.studio isn’t an outsider pitching an industry it read about in a pitch deck. It’s built by someone who shows up to the DZ every weekend and builds for the people standing next to him.
