At age 25, Leif has had many incredible adventures, including expeditions to Antarctica and sailing voyages to the South Pacific, but his greatest passion is storytelling. Accompanied by photographs and video segments, Leif will deliver a keynote audiences report as spell-binding and unforgettable.
