Brian "BK" Krause is a legendary figure in the skydiving community, with an impressive career that spans both military and civilian achievements. With over 23,000 jumps to his name, BK is known for leading the resurgence of the U.S. Army's Golden Knights 8-Way formation skydiving team. Under his leadership as captain and player-coach, the Golden Knights claimed a silver medal at the 2010 World Championships, followed by gold at the 2011 World Cup and 2012 World Championships.

Beyond his own competitive success, BK played a pivotal role in establishing the Golden Knights’ all-women’s 4-Way team, which went on to win a World Championship just four years later—a testament to his leadership and vision. Even after his departure, the Golden Knights continued to thrive, winning three consecutive World Championships in 2014, 2016, and 2018, all tied to the foundation BK helped build.

As a civilian, BK's achievements continued. In 2019, he rejoined his Paraclete XP teammates to win gold at the U.S. Nationals, defeating his former team. In 2022, BK added another World Championship title to his already remarkable legacy with XP8.

BK’s contributions to the sport and his incredible journey make him a true icon in the world of skydiving.
