Our Story...

Hello and thank you for taking the time to stop by and get to know more about Envision Paragliding.  

​

Envision PG was born in 2021 and has always had one main goal in mind... YOU, the pilot.  Unlike other paragliding schools and resources, Envision strives to make your experience the most personal it can be by listening, focusing on your individual needs and helping prepare you to be the best, safest and smartest pilot possible.  We provide thorough training, step-by-step personal guidance, the highest level of risk management and second-to-none client care.  We are NOT a "student factory" and maintain a very small student-to-instructor ratio so that you can be sure you're getting the most individualized training and guidance possible.

​

We specialize in personal coaching, taking your current flying skills and raising the bar to help you develop into a more competent and confident pilot.  Our focused training will help you improve your site assessments, preflight & setup, launches & landings and overall in-flight success!  Every course can be customized to your specific needs to help you reach new heights quickly and effectively.

​

We also offer one of the widest range of equipment dealerships available anywhere, so that you have the ability to find the right equipment that fits YOU and your needs.  With honest, unbiased reviews and product guidance, you can be sure to find the right gear to maximize your flying potential and safety.

​

I thank you for your support and I look forward to sharing the sky with you!

About Me...

Getting to know your instructor, guide and flying friend...

My name is Jeff and I am so glad to make your acquaintance!  To tell you a bit about myself, I have always been an adventurer at heart and always looked skyward dreaming of flight.  After many years of struggling with the limitations of traditional flying paths, I had given up on ever becoming a pilot.  However, in 2014, I was blessed with the singular experience that would change my life... My first tandem paragliding flight!  Wow!  What an experience!  The reality of being able to carry a glider on your back, hike up a mountain and take off on a flying adventure was an amazing, life-changing experience for me that I hope to share.  Now, after nearly 10 years of flying and adventuring,  I am following my natural path as a 25+ year educator and outdoor adventure guide to help create the same excitement for anyone interested in experiencing the joy of flight.  

​

Outside of my aerial endeavors, I enjoy spending time in nature... Hiking, mountaineering, rock climbing, snow sports, mountain/road cycling and more, along with a wide range of hobbies including playing guitar, art, travel, astronomy, RC modeling and a wide range of sports.
