Logan began jumping in May of 2010 at Skydive Orange in Virginia. Her initial interests were free flying and wingsuiting; she enjoyed the challenge of different types of body flight. She also earned an AFF rating and senior riggers ticket to try her hand at working in the sport.

After a few failed attempts at starting a freefly team while training for the women's head down record, she fell in love with canopy piloting. Realizing a need in the community, she used her background as a software engineer to build the initial version of the scoring software, Control Tower, and traveled around the world running many meets while learning how to swoop. In the spring of 2014 she started the CT Swoop team with Matt. Since then, the software has been used at over 40 competitions including the last 3 seasons of FLCPA and the 2014 World Championships of canopy piloting at Skydive City/Zhills. (You can read more about it here.) In the process she became a nationally rated judge which gives her a unique perspective as both a judge and competitor to improve the software and swoop comps in general. Logan has earned two 3rd place finishes and 2nd place for the season at NECPL, in addition to the Golden Snorkel award for sportsmanship at US Nationals. Logan placed 3rd overall and 3rd in distance at UK CP Nationals in 2018, earning her a pro card and a slot on the UK National Team.

When not skydiving, Logan enjoys photography, making cocktails, riding her bicycle, traveling, and spending time with friends.

Matt began skydiving in March 2010 and fell in love with the sport immediately. While still in college he found excitement in the competitive side of skydiving, winning several medals in 4-way and sport accuracy at USPA collegiate nationals, and the US Indoor Skydiving Championships. Those experiences led him to look deeper into the sport for other areas where he could compete.

Learning about the challenges of competitive canopy piloting led him to join Logan as they started the Control Tower canopy piloting team. During his first year of competition, 2015, he won the USPA Canopy Piloting Nationals in the Advanced category. In 2018, he gained a spot on the US Canopy Piloting Team, competing in Poland at the World Championships. He now continues to focus on being a Pro Canopy Pilot at the world level. As a member of Control Tower, he loves traveling to compete, pushing the limits of canopy flight, and learning more about what our sport offers in every discipline.

Outside of competition, Matt enjoys teaching and consequently earned his Coach, TI, and AFF-I ratings then worked for several years as an instructor and S&TA at his home dropzone. In the spring of 2017, Matt had the opportunity to join a friend and mentor, to become a canopy piloting instructor at Superior Flight Solutions. He now travels not only for competitions around the world but teaches safety and technique in canopy control, both in the US and abroad as the Chief Sport Instructor for Superior Flight Solutions. When he find a free moment he enjoys organizing at boogies around the world or having fun freeflying with friends.

When not training, competing, teaching, or coaching he loves to travel, hike, and explore what the world has to offer. He is look forward to more traveling, more competitions, and many more wins!

Scott started jumping in 2011 in Northern California. From day one he dreamed of canopy piloting but, initially, he focused on freeflying. Northern California has a distinguished history of bigway and sequential freeflying, so Scott gravitated towards those sub-disciplines. He was fortunate enough to have incredible mentors who pushed him and helped open doors to high-level camps and events. Scott also started working as an indoor skydiving instructor, further providing him opportunities to develop his skills. He has competed as an MFS videographer since 2015 on teams "Hard Points", "Sexy Chocolate Chip" and "Super Serious" - placing 5th (Advanced), 3rd (Open) and 3rd (Open). He is looking forward to adding onto his competition experience as "Super Serious" moves to 4way VFS this 2018 season. In 2018 Scott will also be chasing his dream of being a member of the vertical world record team.

While Scott was learning to freefly he also pushed himself into the CP world but wasn't able to compete until the 2017 season. After a year filled with coaching, training, and dedication; he placed 4th overall in the Advanced class at USPA Nationals, with a Gold in the speed event. It was this experience, along with the FLCPA season, that cemented Canopy Piloting as a top discipline in his mind and he is looking forward to learning all that he can as a competitor and member of Control Tower.

Outside of competition, Scott works as an instructor at this home dropzone - Skydive California. As an AFF-I and TI, he's provided the opportunity to pass on his knowledge of the sport while meeting students from all over the world and different walks of life. He is also entering the XRW world as both a canopy pilot and wingsuiter. Outside of skydiving he is pursuing a career as a firefighter.

So where did the name Control Tower come from?

When Logan was trying to think of a name for the software she realized a parallel between an airport managing planes landing and the meet manager overseeing canopy pilots landing, so she chose the name Control Tower.

What are we focused on now?

Both Logan and Matt are primarily focused on training and competing in canopy piloting competitions. In addition to that they enjoy freeflying and attending and organizing at boogies such as CarolinaFest and Mountain Gravity. When not competing or training, they are looking into more opportunities for advanced canopy work such as dynamic flocking, XRW, and mountain flying. Both team members are committed to helping the community grow through coaching and mentoring, just as we have benefited from those who have helped us get where we are today. 

Control Tower trains with SFS.
