LeifandJim

Join us on January 24 to kick off our 2017 BeWild Speaker Series as author Leif Whittaker and his father Jim Whittaker take the stage! 

A FEW TICKETS LEFT! GET THEM BEFORE THEY'RE GONE!

GET TICKETS!

Jim stepped into history on May 1, 1963 when he became the first American to summit Mt. Everest. Nearly five decades later, his son Leif followed in his footsteps to the top of the world - twice. Both father and son are accomplished authors, and compelling, inspirational speakers, exploring themes of adventure, risk, perseverance, teamwork, friendship and the beauty of the natural world. We'll also be featuring Leif's latest book: My Old Man and the Mountain.
