CJ | Forever Busy Livin'
Directed by Brady Mickelson
FILMED IN WASHINGTON
C.J. Sturtevant is a household name in the paragliding community and a local legend in North Bend, WA. Most people her age aren’t hitching rides to the top of a mountain to fly off with nothing but some nylon. Yet, C.J. and her beloved husband, George, have made a life out of keeping their cups overflowing with fun and an endless pursuit of adventure in the sky.
