Alan Eustace holds the title Senior Vice President of Knowledge, oh and he holds the world's freefall record.

According to the New York Times, Alan Eustace of Google broke the Felix Baumgartner's freefall record earlier today after falling an earth shattering 135,908 feet.

Eustace, the Senior Vice President of Knowledge at Google, (possibly the best title one can have) can now add another moniker to that amazing title.

During the descent, which took about 15 minutes, Eustace broke the sound barrier as he reached speeds of over 800 MPH, reports the NYT.

Eustace, apparently worked on this project in secret in tandem with the Paragon Space Development Corporation for three years and without the help of Google.

He also captured the entire thing on camera with the use of GoPro's. Eustace's monumental freefall can be watched below.
