Shaun Roundy

Shaun Roundy's cv reads like a character from an action-adventure movie. Alongside publishing 12 books, he has taught writing to ten thousand university students, climbed mountains to 18,000 feet, sailed 2,500 miles through two oceans, speaks half a dozen languages, lived on four continents and a tropical island, saved dozens of lives as a member of an active volunteer Search and Rescue team, chaired the Mountain Rescue Association's Intermountain Region, been interviewed on NPR's All Things Considered, appeared in the Discovery Channel's "Raging Planet - Blizzards" and KUED's award-winning documentaries "Secrets of the Lost Canyon" and "Search and Rescue", along with many appearances on the evening news shown all around the world. The list goes on and on.

Shaun calls himself a "practical idealist," meaning that he continually innovates and seeks to apply high ideals in effective ways to make life - for himself and everyone else - the best possible experience.
