]It's a bird … it's a plane … it's 83-year-old Leo Dean! This man boldly goes where few others go by jumping out of airplanes. And it's a hobby he only started a decade ago.

Dean tells Growing Bolder what made him take up skydiving so late in life and how his experiences in World War II helped shape the way he lives today.

He's still working full-time as the vice president of a financial services company. Dean tells Growing Bolder why his 80s may be one of the busiest decades of his life.
