Dear Stacey
Many different cardiac conditions can cause skipped beats. The reasons range from the benign to the life-threatening. The skipped beats must be bothering him, or he would not have mentioned it to you. He should see a doctor.
I hope this has been useful. I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to write back.
