  • Suncadia Speaker Series- Climbing Mt. Everest and Helping Himalaya Kids - A Continuing Journey Add this event to your calendar

    When: 03/20/2010

    Please join us on March 20, 2010, from 3 to 5pm, for the next Suncadia Speaker Series featuring Ambrose Bittner of Red Lantern Journeys.  Ambrose is the founder and CEO of Red Lantern Journeys, is an intrepid world traveler, having visited roughly 40 countries on six continents. He has been traveling in Asia since 1988 when he took his first trip to Japan to visit friends.

    Ambrose is also the founder of the Climb for Himalaya Children, a benefit climb of Mt. Rainier to raise money and support for the Mitrata Orphanage in Kathmandu.  In 2005, he attempted to climb Mt. Everest --the same year he started his travel company. From that experience he found a new focus for helping children in the Himalaya. He is also on the board of the Mitrata Nepal Foundation for Children, a US-based 501(c) (3) organization dedicated to supporting the children of the Mitrata Orphanage.

    Originally an engineer with a degree in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University, Ambrose worked at the Boeing Company for 8 years mainly in a fiber optic research and development group. Always up for a bit of adventure, he went to Japan for two years on the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) program and taught English at a Japanese high school. After returning to Seattle, Ambrose led the product development team as a founding member of AdvanceOnline, an internet company that delivered web-based training focused on occupational safety and health topics. That company was sold in 2002 to a Texas company at which time Ambrose returned to school to get an MBA from the University of Washington. Upon graduation in 2004, he founded Red Lantern Journeys.

    Ambrose is an avid rock and mountain climber, having attempted Mt. Everest in 2005 and with a first ascent of Cerro Tillman in Patagonia in 1997. He was the head instructor of the Boeing Employees' Alpine Society's Intermediate Climbing Class in 2006 and 2007, and continues to climb and teach mountaineering classes.

    Please join Ambrose on March 20, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. at The Lodge at Suncadia to hear his stories and see amazing photos from his Mt. Everest attempt and from the Red Lantern Journeys' Climb for Himalaya Children.  The series is free to Suncadia associates, property owners, hotel guests and citizens from the surrounding local community.
