Dave Hahn: Who is he?

Dave was born on November 3, 1961 in Okinawa, Japan, but his family later immigrated to the United States and he spent his formative years in California, New York and New Mexico. Interestingly, Dave didn’t initially want to be a mountain guide or expedition leader; Instead, he earned his Bachelor of Arts in history from the State University of New York at Buffalo. But after graduating, his father took him on an adventure to the top of Mount Rainier that introduced him to the allure of mountains. Dave met various guides and leaders along the journey who helped him find his passion and by the end he was eager to achieve his goal. He began his career as a slope patrol officer in 1985 after obtaining the necessary credentials and he was keen to excel at his job.

Dave eventually rose to the position of guide and his background allowed him to rise to the position of expedition leader. In addition, he has worked for a number of companies throughout his career, including notable examples such as Fathom Expeditions, Angel Fire, Taos Ski Valley and Rainier Mountaineering. Coincidentally, Dave was at Everest Base Camp in 2015 when the earthquake struck Nepal. The veteran mountaineer later remarked that despite numerous disasters in his profession, the death and destruction caused in Nepal was simply unimaginable. Being at base camp, he too was forced to flee while navigating avalanches and watching those around him fall to their deaths. However, Dave’s knowledge and luck eventually led him away from danger and allowed him to escape the jaws of death.
