Dave Rodney is the only person in the history of this country to summit
Mt. Everest twice, and his accomplishments are inspiring to many (especially
since he was born on the flatlands of North America, has survived four
knee surgeries, and has broken his back in four places!).
He is in high demand on the professional speaking circuit throughout North
America, has been involved with 6 documentaries (1), and is completing
his book: "More than a Mountain: An Everest Education". (2)
(1) including being the main subject of the pilot episode of "Ordinary
People, Extraordinary Lives", and the main contributor to BBC's "Living
Dangerously."
(2) The working title for a multi-faceted literary and artistic exploration
addressing the relations of the Everest Experience to the physical, intellectual,
emotional, spiritual, cultural, personal, and professional challenges we
all face daily: utilizing the mountain as a metaphor for the "Everyday
Everests" we all climb!
Dave is not just a climber, speaker, and writer; he has also earned a number
of degrees, worked in 3rd world countries, served as an educator &
administrator in three countries, and built his own business (SpiritQuest
Enterprises, Inc.).
His still photography, videography, & written work have been utilized
around the world (including National Geographic; Oprah; North American,
European and African National Broadcast Companies; North American Corporations;
North American and European books and texts), & he has been interviewed
across the globe--but what he is most proud of are the rewards he has gained
from service with charitable, educational, civic and corporate organizations!
