Luke Aikins
(1) Luke Aikin's excellence was achieved by becoming an American professional skydiver, BASE jumper, pilot and aerial photographer.
(2) Luke Aikin's achieved this excellence by being the first person to drive from mid-tropospheric altitude and land safely without any use of a parachute and a wing suit and the second skydiver to land without using parachute. 
(3) Technology may have impacted this Arete experience because when having the will to jump from a very high altitude and knowing that he could of done it with the use if a parachute, which is a type of technology that has evolved throughout time, he still went for the challenge.
(5)Reflection: I strongly believe this is an amazing example of a person reaching into becoming an Arete person because of his determination and bravery he was able to break a record that no one has ever been able to do. This teaches us that with courage anything is possible if you set your mind into it even if means it might be risky and you never know what the outcomes may be. Luke is a great example of what dedication can accomplish. It took him 180,000 times of practice, so he can get this world record of landing without a parachute completed.
