Biography

Dave Rodney is one of very few people in world history to have successfully summitted the highest mountain in the world--Mt. Everest—not just once, but Twice! (in 1999 & 2001, after overcoming a back broken in 6 places, a knee re-constructed 4 times, and a torn shoulder!)

Mr. Rodney’s powerful and practical keynotes, team-building sessions, and hands-on workshops will change your life: they are genuine, enthralling, and entertaining! As Dave says, “it’s not about me or the mountain; it’s about you, and the personal and professional ‘mountains’ in your life!” (Ask for Dave’s Brand-new, free demo-video to see for yourself!)

“Sherpa Dave” is more than just a climber, speaker, writer, filmmaker, and international adventure guide. He has also earned three university degrees (including his masters), built his own business, and worked in many countries, including the 3rd world.

His still photography, videography, & written work have been utilized around the world (including National Geographic, the BBC, Life & Discovery Channels International, and Oprah Winfrey); and he is featured in 17 books and documentaries, including: “Heroes with Heart”, “Extraordinary Lives”, “Lost in Everest’s Death Zone”, and the award-winning “Back to Everest: The Dave Rodney Story”.

Mr. Rodney assists with local, national, and international charitable efforts, including his “Mountain of Heroes Foundation” for Children.

Dave takes a humble, healthy pride in customizing his programs to meet the personal and professional realities, challenges, and themes of each individual group he speaks to—he’ll research the past, present, and future of your organization, and make it the most important, moving session you’ve ever encountered!

His multi-disciplined & multi-media presentations encourage and empower his audiences to scale their "mountains" in life with confidence and integrity; leaving them renewed, refreshed, and armed with down-to-earth strategies for success--at home, at work, and in the community!
