About Aidan

Aidan Hyman is a queer social entrepreneur, humanitarian/renewable energy advocate, and athlete. He was nominated as one of Attitude Magazine's most influential queer trailblazers of 2024 and is an Athlete for Equality with the Human Rights Campaign. Hyman was working in environmental affairs at the United Nations ESCAP headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand.
 

Hyman is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural & Environmental Technology at the University of California Davis (UC Davis). In his previous professional roles, Hyman has developed an investment thesis on nuclear fusion trends, and modeled the potential energy efficiency of building on-site wind and solar farms for the UC Davis Bodega Marine Lab.

Hyman seized the opportunity to climb K2, the second-highest peak in the world, located in Pakistan. He connected with Lucy Westlake, the youngest American woman to have climbed Everest, who became Hyman’s inspiration and guide. Aidan also proudly holds the title of a Three-Star World-Marathoner in the Abbot World Marathon Series, having conquered marathons in Boston, New York City, and Chicago. Hyman has since competed in Ironman 70.3 Hawaii for the Ironman Foundation, raising money for programs connecting underprivileged island youth with outdoor activities.
