Matt Dawson (“Dawson”) is a M&A investment banker, corporate investor and small business operator turned multi-record holding endurance and adventure athlete; sought-after public speaker; lifestyle/performance advisor; and founder of Dawson’s Peak Foundation. Beginning project Seven for Soldiers in May 2021, Dawson set multiple records by rapidly completing a previously unheard-of number of global expeditions (in a single year), including summiting the Seven Summits (the highest peak on every continent); skiing to a pole (South Pole); traversing a desert (Mojave); and rowing across an ocean (Atlantic). Although he was on track to additionally ski to the North Pole and fly a single-engine plane around the world during this same year, his plans were delayed due to the global pandemic and Russia/Ukraine events.
Additionally, Dawson set a new world record in May 2024 by becoming the fastest person to ever cross the Mojave Desert on foot – covering 329.5 miles in 7 days, 8 hours, and 45 minutes (solo and unsupported).
Through project Seven for Soldiers, Dawson has exemplified what is possible when we identify a goal and fully apply ourselves.
Dawson is an avid traveler (35+ countries); licensed motorcycle racer; U.S. Navy qualified “Expert” with pistol and rifle; outdoor enthusiast; and IFR licensed fixed wing (airplane) pilot (currently training to add multi-engine rating). In addition, Dawson is Treasurer for the Los Angeles Circle of Giving (a non-profit organization serving the community by helping individuals and families that are experiencing a challenging life event); and has served as a Mentor for the LEAP Foundation in Los Angeles, CA.
