Jim Wallace

Jim Wallace, D-3497, started skydiving on a dare on October 31, 1970. He became an instructor in 1982 and opened his own jump school, the Jim Wallace Skydiving School, ten years later in Perris, California. Over the past four decades, Wallace has won three national championships, held 11 world records in formation skydiving and was a member of the 1975 U.S. Team that won the 10-way world championship. He is a USPA AFF, Static-Line and Tandem Instructor Examiner and Safety and Training Advisor, as well as a Federal Aviation Administration-rated rigger and commercial pilot. He leads a professional demonstration team, which has performed in front of crowds from the Rose Bowl in California to the Marina Bay Sands Resort in Singapore. A member of the Screen Actors Guild, Wallace has been a stunt skydiver and aerial stunt coordinator for dozens of TV commercials and feature-length movies, including “Terminal Velocity,” “Point Break,” “The Bucket List,” and “Iron Man.” In 2006, Wallace received USPA’S Gold Medal for Meritorious Service.
