About Me

When I was 22, I climbed Mount Everest. Not metaphorically—I climbed the highest mountain on Earth.
While I was hiking, I thought about quitting approximately 10,000 times. (And that is a lowball estimate.)
However, despite the high winds, low altitude, mental and physical fatigue, and trail mix overdose.
I kept going. I am that person. Once I say I will do something, it will happen.
