Jeana Billings is probably the Formation Skydiving competitor with her own NSL Profile who has the shortest history in the sport, compared to all other featured celebrities at this part of SKYLEAGUE.COM.

She only appeared for the first time in the NSL News when she competed with her first serious 4-way team, Southern Mix XP, at regional meets of the Southern Skydiving League in 2015.

Ten years later, she is a reigning 3-time world champion in 8-way, and there are only four competitors in history who have collected more than three world championship titles and have their names on the legendary William H. Ottley Sword for world champions, the 8-wayExcalibur.

One of them is her life partner Kirk Verner, who is also her skydiving mentor, together with Brian Krause. Kirk Verner is ahead of Jeana Billings with five 8-way titles, while she has caught up with Brian Krause.

She made her first jump in the summer of 2013. She was born in Texas and had moved further east before she started jumping, then started training and competing in the Southern Skydiving League area.

Jeana Billings and Jolene Dressel connected with Glenn Lambert and two team mates for a meet in 2015 before Paraclete XP's John D'Annunzio became the player-coach in the outside center slot at the August meet and at the USPA Nationals 2015.

The 2015 season with Southern Mix became the starting point for a friendship and partnership with Paraclete XP's John D'Annunzio. Now she works full time as a coach and organizer in North Carolina, and they have won the same three sets of 8-way gold medals in the different XP8 lineups (2021, 2022, 2024), together with Kirk Verner.

Her 4-way career began with one of the most challenging situations in 4-way and 8-way competition. Southern Mix had to go into an extra round at Jeana Billings' first national championship to break the tie for the 3rd place in a field of 36 teams in the AA/Intermediate Class. The opponent of the Air Force delegation won the extra round by a point over Southern Mix (23 - 22).

Jeana Billings and John D'Annunzio spent two years together with Southern Mix, and the team added one more year without a player-coach before Jeana Billings was recruited by Ranch 2nd Generation in 2019. R2G had won the USPA Nationals in the AAA/Advanced Class competition of 2017 and were the newest 4-way Open Class team in 2018.

Michelle Karamon, Joey Marshall and Chris Kuhlmann had to replace Brenn Richards when they had to move up to 4-way Open Class competition, while Jeana Billings had finished in 8th place on the AA/Intermediate Class leaderboard of the same event. She still seemed to be a perfect fit for Ranch 2nd Generation, as she was also looking back at an impressive progression in the same time period (2015 - 2017). Southern Mix (4th) and R2G (16th) both competed in the same category at the USPA Nationals 2015. They moved up together into the AAA/Advanced Class competition of 2016 where they finished 2nd (R2G) and 13th (Southern Mix).

R2G stepped up again in 2017, while Southern Mix turned into an all-female team and started in the AA/Intermediate Class with the new lineup. Jeana Billings switched to outside center, where John D'Annunzio was before, and she is back in the same slot now.

R2G and Jeana Billings both spent another year before they eventually joined forces, Jeana Billings with AAA/Advanced Class winner Savage XP and her mentor Kirk Verner, R2G in their first 4-way Open Class year with Chris Haslam.

She met her XP8 and XPG4 4-way world champion team mate Michelle Karamon, and the two reigning Airspeed world champions Joey Marshall and Chris Kuhlmann when she joined Ranch 2nd Generation in 2019.

They were on 4-way and 8-way triple duties that year, with R2G and XP8, and also with 4-way Women team XPG4 for the FAI Indoor World Championship.

XPG4 have continued ever since, recently with original R2G member Brenn Richards in the lineup. Jeana Billings and Michelle Karamon won 8-way gold medals together in 2021 and 2022, 4-way Women gold at Crystal Coast 2024, where Jeana Billings also won her 3rd 8-way gold medal with GKXP8.

The whole Ranch 2nd Generation lineup of 2019 have become 4-way and 8-way world champions ever since they were recruited for their new 4-way and 8-way adventures, Michelle Karamon and Jeana Billings in 8-way and 4-way Women, Joey Marshall and Chris Kuhlmann with their gold medals in 2022 and 2024.

Original R2G member Brenn Richards started with Joey Marshall and Chris Kuhlmann in 2015, with Dean Van Tassell in the lineup, and with their biggest fan, Kamuran "Sonic" Bayrasli, on R2G camera.

Jeana Billings and Kirk Verner now continue with the development of a new XP8 lineup, while Joey Marshall and Chris Kuhlmann have recruited a new Airspeed lineup.

Michelle Karamon and Brenn Richards have a new 4-way team, Tunnel Vision for indoor Open Class training and competition.

Jeana Billings is coaching a new 4-way Women team, XP Angels, to become the next U.S. national team in 4-way Women. Her original 4-way player-coach team mate of 2015, John D'Annunzio, will be back in the new XP8 lineup where they will try to win their 4th 8-way gold medal together in 2026.
