In the spring of 2014, I will attempt to climb the world's highest mountain with Steve Obbayi, Kenya's first Everest candidate.

Recommend Toby Vincienzo Cabrera Vincienzo Cabrera Freelance Designer I hired Vincienzo to design two brochures. He took he brief and executed it superbly, delivering first-class final products on-time. He incorporated multiple revisions with a minimum of fuss. Highly reccomended. January 5, 2013, Toby was Vincienzo's client Simran Anand Simran Anand Independent Consultant - Digital marketing and strategy Simran has been an exceptional member of the Expedition Everest social media team. She has taken wholehearted responsibility for the running of the campaign's Facebook and Pinterest pages, as well as providing excellent insight into the management of the entire social media portfolio.
