Team Alter Ego Announces New Teammates
Team Alter Ego is excited and proud to announce the addition of two new team members to their lineup, strengthening the team even further. Jay Sanders and Michael McCann join the team this fall, just in time for the 2014 competition season.
“I’m really excited about Jay and Mike joining the team,” team member Curt Bartholomew said. “We have been keeping our eye out for newcomers to the competition scene, and it was great to see these guys putting in the amount of effort it takes to get to where they are now. The team has been watching Jay for over a year now and he’s a great fit and talks with Mike have been going on for a little over a year. He’s got some unique ideas and visions that will help put a different twist on the projects that we are involved in.”
Sanders, from San Diego, has been jumping for 12 years with over 11,000 jumps and has been making waves on the competition circuit for the past two years and Alter Ego has been watching him as an up and coming competitive skydiver as a possible good fit for the team. Sanders’ performance during the 2013 Competition Circuit, where he earned a spot on the US Canopy Piloting Team further solidified his position as a prime candidate to join the team.
“Making the US Team this year and winning Speed at Performance Design’s Project Orange Competition was awesome,” Sanders said, “but announcing that I was part of this team was the highlight of that comp. I’ve secretly wanted to be on Alter Ego for some time now, so when they asked me to join, I was very honored and happy”.
McCann is also a long-time jumper with over 7,500 jumps and first started talks to join the team earlier this year.
Finding the right photographer for the team wasn’t easy. Alter Ego has been scouting several people for well over two years looking for the right fit and after meeting and flying with McCann, the search finally ended. With a Bachelor of Science in Digital Media Production from the Art Institute of Philadelphia and a passion for skydiving, the union of science and art is a perfect fit for the highly technical and championship team Alter Ego.
“I’m really excited to be a part of this team. I am happy to be a part of a team that is leading the evolution of the sport and I like putting more into this sport than I take out,” McCann said. “Alter Ego is the very best and that’s the team I want to be a part of. Boom!”
McCann brings an energy to the team that can only be described as electric and will work as the team’s videographer, photographer, and…..well we can’t say anymore just yet.

“We’ve got BIG plans and I can’t wait to unveil the ideas and show the world what we’re made of,” McCann shared.
As fans of the team know, each individual team member is identified by a personal color choice, so of course the first order of business is: what colors will Sanders and McCann be?!?
“I’m going to be the charcoal grey ranger!” said Sanders.
For McCann, he’s decided on white: ”White is the blending of all colors and I like the symbolism. My job is to capture the great things this team is doing and help represent them all.” McCann said about his color choice.
“We have had amazing growth as a team the last 3 seasons and can’t wait to see what the future brings.”, Bartholomew shared. “We all work extremely hard on a daily basis and having a strong network of teammates surrounding you is indescribable”.
Next up for Alter Ego is the 4th Dubai International Parachuting Championship where Bartholomew, Batsch and Sanders will compete after earning spots on the US Canopy Piloting team earlier this year. Bartholomew is the reigning DIPC champion and Alter Ego is looking to continue their winning streak at the competition.
