After pursuing his goal for 18 years, Jamie Clarke stood on the summit of Mount Everest and realized a lifelong dream. It was the pinnacle in a young life of outstanding achievement - he is an adventurer, an author and a filmmaker. He co-authored his first book, The Power of Passion, which chronicled his first 2 attempts on Everest. He released Above All Else, a film chronicling his 3 Everest climbs, which has been broadcast on Discovery's Travel Channel.

The summit of Everest was just the beginning of his exploration. His next adventure was a camel crossing of over 700 miles through Arabia's Empty Quarter, the most desolate and dangerous desert in the world. He and his teammates were the first Westerners to accomplish this in 50 years. Jamie shared this adventure with 25,000 children from 800 schools around the world via an educational website. He also produced a documentary about the Empty Quarter in conjunction with National Geographic, which has aired on their Explorer Series. His second book, Everest to Arabia takes its readers across the sands of Arabia with Jamie's perspective on the summit of Everest woven throughout.

While sharing from his heart with humor and passion, Jamie challenges his audience to think differently - to live life with passion on their own terms.
