About Lee Hoedl

Believing in the power of presence in a child's life, Lee Hoedl left his seventeen-year career as a university administrator and educator to become a "residential education specialist" - a stay-at-home father for the Hoedl triplets born in 2003. In between family responsibilities since that time, Lee has found time to remain an avid cyclist, a triathlete/marathoner and trainer, a nature photographer, a freelance website developer, a motivational speaker, a writer, and a blues enthusiast/guitarist. And when time permits, Lee rejuvenates through his high altitude climbing experience, having summited such peaks as Mt. Whitney, Denali/Mt. McKinley, Mt. Rainier, Cayambe/Cotopaxi, Aconcagua, Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, Everest, and through the Cascades, Rockies and Appalachians. He also enjoys backpacking, having trekked the majority of America's major national parks. He simply enjoys being in the great outdoors with a camera and just spending quality time with his wife Di and children. At present, all of Lee's children are in college or beyond, so he involves himself in teaching/subbing K-12 grades at various schools in and around Fargo, ND.
​
Lee shares his adventures freely in hopes of others being inspired to go BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES. Video links to his experiences and adventures can be found below: CLICK HERE
​
Enjoy the sample photos presented below of those various adventures as well.

Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.
- David McCullough Jr.
