Reaching Beyond the Clouds

Last evening I was honored by OC Metro as one of their “Hot 25″. It was a wonderful event and the room vibrated with positive energy. This year there were 157 non-Sherpa individuals who summited from the South Side of Everest and 6 of them were from Orange County – that’s pretty amazing!

Many of you followed my Everest Blog while I was climbing to the top of the world and it was wonderful to know you were there with me – in spirit.  Now you can see the pictures that go with the story. I am giving a presentation at the new Tustin REI Store on Saturday, December 4th at 7 PM.

Attendance is free but you need to register due to limited seating. You do not need to be a REI member.

Go to “Speaking Event” and look at the REI Presentation page – there is a link to registeration.

Tonight I had the honor of presenting my story at the Casa Romantica Cultural Center in San Clemente, CA. It is a beautiful facility and a wonderful experience.

Yesterday I had lunch with the Orange County Mt. Everest summiteers. It was an amazing feeling: seven people who have climbed to the top of the world. A real “Power Lunch” experience!
