Larry Hill started his first DZ in 1977 with a Cessna 182. Here he was a one-man show—serving as instructor, rigger, mechanic, pilot and DZO. He would later move again until finally ending up in Eloy, Arizona, where he adopted the name “Skydive Arizona” for his DZ. Since moving to Eloy, Larry has successfully hosted 13 National Parachuting Championships, 2 World Parachuting Championships, 4 World Cup Championships and 8 Collegiate Championships. He was also instrumental in the development of the OmniSkore judging system. He was awarded the prestigious Faust Vrancic award in 1997. In short, Larry has devoted his entire adult life to pursuit of the betterment of the sport of skydiving.
