Tommie DePrima is a senior attorney in the firm’s Hollywood, FL/Broward office and has been part of the Vernis & Bowling family for 9 years.
Tommie is planning her expedition to summit the highest mountain in the world; Mount Everest (29,029 ft.) in Nepal in April of 2024!
In preparation for her expedition to Mount Everest, Tommie has climbed the highest peak in Africa (Kilimanjaro), the highest peak in South America (Aconcagu), and has trained at Everest Base Camp twice, summiting Lobuche Ease Peak most recently in April 2023.
Her next step is to summit the 8th highest mountain in the world, Manasulu (26,781 ft.) in September of 2023.
We hope that our clients and friends will join the entire Vernis & Bowling team in cheering on Tommie as she works toward this amazing feat!
As part of Tommie’s goal, she also wants to support sponsorships for several children in Nepal, which provides for all living costs, medical expenses, school fees, and costs for an entire year. The Women’s Foundation Nepal (WFN) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization in Nepal that focuses on providing shelter, education and resources for women and children in Nepal who are victims of violence, abuse, and poverty. WFN runs three Shelter Homes, caring for more than 120 children and more than 30 women who are victims of violence, abuse, or extreme poverty.
We will be sending out updates as Tommie gets closer to her dream.
