Allen Silver owns and operates Silver Parachute Sales & Service in
the San Francisco Bay Area. He has been an FAA Master Rigger
since 1974 and in 1991 was designated as a Parachute Rigger
Examiner for the FAA. Allen has also served as the chairman of the
Parachute Industry Association (PIA) Rigging Committee, a

In 1962 at the age of seventeen, Allen made his first parachute jump in Southern California after
watching the old television series Ripcord. He now has over 3,200 parachute jumps as a sport and
professional skydiver.
For three seasons Allen performed a wingwalking/skydiving routine at airshows throughout the
western United States with Eddie Andreini and his Super Stearman. Allen returned to flying and has
been logging time in a Marchetti F-260. When he is not busy packing parachutes or flying, Allen also
enjoys swimming, scuba diving, and the wine country.
