Rescued from a “near-death” experience, Dr. Bernie Dahl lives to share…
Lessons for Living from a Mt. Washington Misadventure
 
Mt. Washington, New Hampshire
"It truly was a dark and stormy night, perhaps the darkest and stormiest night of my life, for I came within five minutes of death... my death... because my rescuers were about to give up!  As a pathologist for over 30 years, I had developed a close professional relationship with 'death and dying' ...but not with my dying... certainly not with my death..."
 
Keynote speaker and public speaker Dr. Bernie Dahl tells his inspirational and motivational story of his near-death experience -- his misadventure -- on brutal Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, and his dramatic resuce by courageous members of the Adroscoggin Valley Search and Rescue and Mountain Rescue Service. He is available as a speaker to relate this story of salvation that came almost too late, and of the lessons for living he learned.

Bernhoff A. Dahl, M.D., author, public speaker, keynote speaker, consultant, humorist, and veteran mountaineer shares his life-threatening experience in a positive, motivational, and inspirational message focused on three admonitions:

Be prepared to die!           Have a plan to live!           Do it now!

"A wonderful, inspiring story of self-discovery and spiritual renewal."  -Rev. Robert Carlson

Dr. Dahl's story has been featured on The Discovery Channel's StormForce series.
