Founder, President Expedition Leader & Trustee, The Heroes Project

Tim Wayne Medvetz

Tim Medvetz is the Founder and President of The Heroes Project.

As the President and founder of The Heroes Project, Tim maintains direct involvement with all THP expeditions, the training of the injured community to execute those missions, the building of the newly approved Veteran Retreat Center, and of course all logistics around running a growing nonprofit organization.

Prior to founding The Heroes Project, Tim was the featured climber on the hit Discovery Channel series Everest Beyond The Limits for two seasons, as well as a four part series titled After The Climb. Before he embarked on his climbing endeavors he had a successful career selling and building custom motorcycles in Los Angeles, California.

Medvetz is a certified scuba-diver, skydiver, hang glider, and well-trained in Muay Thai boxing and Brazilian Gracie jiu-jitsu. He holds an NOLS Wilderness First-Aid certification and a Leave No Trace Principles Trainer Certificate. With three successful summits of Mount Everest under his belt, he is prepared for anything life has to throw at him. Medvetz has spoken at numerous corporate seminars as an inspirational adventure speaker. Born in the great state of New Jersey, he now currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

Built by people who get it.

This team works peer-to-peer, veteran to veteran. No charity desk, no distance — just people who've carried the same weight, standing alongside the ones still climbing.
