Mike Kelly is a prematurely grey, 33 year old entrepreneur (www.tsleads.com)
and sometime adventure seeker from Dublin, Ireland. He’s still trying to figure

Mike’s main area of interest is mountaineering and he has completed a number
of well-known scrambles such as Mont Blanc, Elbrus and Kilimanjaro. In June
2005 he hopes to lead a team of friends up Gran Paradiso (13,323 ft) in the
Italian Alps.
