Everest. Rising a daunting 29,032 Feet / 8849 Meters into the sky, Everest or Chomolungma ("Goddess Mother Of The World") as the native Sherpa people of Nepal and Tibet call it, is an ultimate test of physical & mental toughness, determination and goal-oriented dedication.

Thus, given my distinct public speaking history, insight in a wide range of global sectors and my creative entrepreneurship, combined with my high-level athletic experiences and international exposure, I may be able to offer valuable inspiration / motivation / facilitation for those parties seeking a truly unique & discerning speaker to address their employees and constituents or to represent their brand on a regional, national or international basis...
