Tomas O'Donoghue

Originally from Kerry, Ireland, Tomas O'Donaghue split his childhood between rugged Killarney National Park and the seaside town of Dingle, where his family would spend the summer in their caravan. His parents gave him a love of the outdoors, which inspired him to travel the world from a young age. He holds a degree in civil engineering and during his 20s, he mixed guiding with engineering. The outdoor life eventually prevailed and he moved from Ireland to the French mountaineering center of Chamonix to pursue his passions in the Alps. Today he lives in the quaint hamlet of Seroz, just 10 minutes from Chamonix. Tomas enjoys most outdoors sports, with the goal now shifting to spending quality time with friends rather than scaling the highest peaks.
