EverestHistory.com: Saeed Toossi

Saeed Toossi summited Everest via the standard south east ridge route with Chhewang Dorjee Sherpa (Ang Rita's younger son) on May 22nd, 2000. Saeed had his own independent Expedition to Everest in Spring 2000. EverestNews.com, frankly knew little to nothing about this climber. Therefore, we asked him. Here is what he told us:

"I was born in Tehran/Iran in 1959. I started my climbing activities when I was 14 years old in the North of Tehran. Started college in Iran in 1979. Government closed down universities in 1982. Left Iran in 1983 to come to the US to continue my education. Completed my BS in Computer Science at West Chester University in 1988. Started to work in the field and completed my MS in Software Engineering at Penn State University in 1991. Got back in to climbing again in 1993. I do live in the Washington D.C. Northern Virginia area and work as a Network Engineer."
