Brendan Madden Profile:

Brendan Madden is a high school biology and physics teacher with a thirst for adventure. He has ridden a mountain bike to Mt. Everest, ridden the longest mountain bike downhill in the world from Everest to Kathmandu, motorcycled across Thailand, scuba-dived all over Asia, bungee jumped in Macau, road-tripped Iran, walked across Nicaragua, climbed 5 of the 7 summits, skied in Kashmir, Japan, Turkey, Iraq, China, and Iran - the whole while making sure the camera was recording. His most notable film success was Everest for Mountaineers, a seven-part series in which Brendan chronicles his quest to reach the summit of Mt. Everest.
