As one of the most distinguished helicopter rescue pilots in the world, Captain Andrew Gutsell (@andrew_gutsell) quite literally lives a life beyond your wildest imagination.

Raised on the farms of New Zealand's South Island, Andrew's flying has taken him all over the world. In 2016, he landed in Nepal, where he became the Head Pilot at one of Nepal's premier Helicopter Rescue services.

This put Andrew at the forefront of rescues on the planet's tallest mountain - Everest - and left him in charge of daring rescues in some of the most unforgiving terrain known to man.

Perhaps more than the deeds themselves, this kind of career speaks volumes about the man. Andrew makes decisions on a daily basis which are the difference between life and death; for the client, himself and his crew.

It takes a unique and special human to operate to their potential in these environments. With carnage often surrounding him, Andrew finds a clarity few could dream of. His perspective on life is rare and eye-opening.
