Skydive Tecumseh is proud to announce the employment of Ryan “Shaggio” Levesque as General Manager of Skydive Tecumseh. Levesque brings great experience to the role having served as Operations Manager and General Manager at Skydive Carolina since 2014.

He’s successfully managed a dropzone of comparable size to our own and I anticipate he will help elevate our dropzone to the next level. He has a strong reputation in the industry and this feels like a great fit.”

For the past couple of years, I’ve heard nothing but positive things about the Tecumseh community and the dropzone’s incredible facilities and I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and getting the season kicked off!”

This was a great experience! The staff were friendly, the TI (Amber) was informative and made it fun. I felt very safe and in the care of a qualified and capable TI. Skydive Tecumseh has been around for over 50 years and I can see why. This is a fantastic place to check off one's bucket list, have fun with friends, and do something exhilarating. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to have a chance of a lifetime.
