About Dan BC

Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld, a skydiving world champion, author and speaker, has lived an extraordinary life.  In 1992 when he was 29 years old and after eleven years pursuing his dream of winning the Skydiving National and World Championships, Dan survived a plane crash from which sixteen of the twenty-two people on board were killed. He was left critically injured and woke up from a six-week-long coma with a broken neck, broken skull, severe head trauma, a collapsed lung, and other serious internal injuries. Against all odds, Dan recovered and went on to become one of the greatest competitive skydivers in the world.

With the love and support of friends and family, Dan was able not only to resurrect his life but return to skydiving to achieve greater heights than he could have ever imagined. His techniques and methods for excelling are applicable to all people, no matter their goals. Dan uses his experiences to teach the lessons he’s learned–as a competitor, coach, business owner, father, and husband–to help others achieve their dreams, overcome obstacles, and reach their peak performance. The book “Above All Else” contains 30 color illustrations of true-life photos, spanning from Dan’s childhood through his years as a World Champion and beyond.
