Bio
Hi… my name is Jim Curtin.
First, let’s set some expectations. Unlike some of my fellow Everest climbers, I am not an elite athlete nor have I set any mountaineering records – and have no plans to for the time being. I will not be the fastest up Mount Everest and won't be attempting to climb Everest backwards.
Like a lot guys you’ll see around the neighborhood, I mow the lawn in the summer, rake the leaves in the fall and take my dog for a walk. Her name is Lucy. She’s an Australian shepherd mix rescued from the pound and comes with a great amount of spunk, a friendly attitude and an eagerness to be my training partner.
I also have an amazing wife who supports me in my pursuits like Everest.
I’ve been fortunate to have some nice work credentials under my belt that are the byproducts of hard work, good timing, and a bit of luck. It is largely because of this factor that I can set aside some time at the age of 36 to go for Everest.
Though the question remains: Can a regular, hard-working guy with a friendly dog and a great wife be a match for the mighty Everest?
