The inevitable collision of these forces demonstrates that age and experience has no monopoly on bravery or vulnerability.

Autorenporträt
Chuck Schwerin is a serial entrepreneur, co-founder of several medical device and biotech startups, and mentor in his role as Managing Director of Business Services at Ithaca Area Economic Development. He holds three patents on geographic information technology and was an adjunct professor, teaching entrepreneurship at Binghamton University. As a committed environmentalist, Schwerin's volunteer work reflects those passions. Through his editorship, he transformed Adirondack PEEKS magazine for the Adirondack 46ers and is currently on the Board of the Edward L. Rose Land Conservancy and responsible for their online newsletter. He is also a cofounder of the Alpine Stewardship Center (ASC), a U.S. affiliate of the World Trails Network that promotes mountain conservation education and trail stewardship for the entire northeast. Through Schwerin's fundraising efforts for ASC, and a pre-eminent educational institution-Lake Placid-based Camp Treetops/North Country School-he is connected to a luminary network of outdoors enthusiasts and wilderness philanthropists. His passion for mountains is not only reflected as a central theme in The Ghosts of Glencoe, but has been the impetus for climbing trips on his own, as well as guiding children, to mountain ranges in many parts of the world.
