About Jump Omaha
Discover Our Journey
Hey there, I’m Trina Zomers, and let me take you on a ride through the skies, where my story unfolds like a parachute billowing in the wind. It all began on April 20, 2019, when my son convinced me to take that first plunge. If you had asked me then, there wasn’t enough money in the world to get me to jump. But life has a way of surprising you.
Love at First Jump
After that initial leap, I fell head over heels for the sport.
So much so that I ended up living at a dropzone, becoming a coach, and earning ratings in AFF, IAD, and more. The pull of the sky was irresistible, and I wanted to share that thrill with others. That’s what drove me to get instructional ratings – to help people become skydivers and contribute to the growth of our incredible sport.
Before I found myself in the sky, I wore different hats as a bar and nightclub owner and even tried my hand at fitness competitions. But it was my time at other dropzones that opened my eyes to something more. I saw people struggling to get in the air, and I knew I wanted to change that. So, I became a DZO, determined to create a positive and inclusive experience for everyone who wanted to taste the freedom of the skies.
The Core of Jump Omaha
The journey wasn’t all smooth sailing. I faced personal challenges, battling breast cancer and navigating through tough relationships. Yet, I emerged stronger, and my dropzone’s logo reflects those battles and victories – representing breast cancer and domestic violence awareness.
Hailing from South Dakota, my family is at the heart of my story. With five amazing daughters and one son, who happens to be a licensed skydiver and aspiring pilot, they’re not just my support system; they’re part of the adventure. We’re making skydiving a family affair.
Resilience, Growth, and Pushing The Boundaries
Beyond the clouds, I’ve had my share of passions – from being a fitness competitor to exploring new places and savoring moments with my granddaughter. I might not have a specific motto, but my actions speak for themselves – resilience, growth, and pushing the boundaries.
Looking to the future, my goal for my dropzone is clear – to grow and build, to be a part of the sport’s expansion. With the wind beneath my wings, I’m still soaring, inspiring others to defy gravity and embrace the boundless possibilities that the sky has to offer.
