Gary Scott

A pioneer of extreme rock climbing and previously an international mountain guide, he is the world-record holder for the fastest ascent of Alaska's Mt. McKinley, climbing it alone in a super human 18.5 hours. He has owned and operated his own adventure travel company with offices in Nepal, London and the U.S., and worked with the U.S. Triathlon Team and the U.S. Olympic Committee. He has managed numerous radio stations and sales teams, and worked on dozens of advertising, public relations and marketing projects.

Currently a motivational and inspirational speaker to corporate groups, Gary Scott has certainly earned the right to speak about goals, dreams, pushing limits, and living a life of adventure and fulfillment. Gary has a unique ability to capture the heart and soul of his audience while leaving them with the motivation, inspiration and direction to accomplish more in all areas of life. A superb story teller and photographer, Gary's spectacular multi-media presentation entertains and teaches groups with stories, lessons learned, and his own incredible experiences -- including barely escaping death while surviving a night out in a raging blizzard near the top of Mount Everest without oxygen, food, water or shelter. He shares how everyone has an "Everest" in their lives.

Gary teaches from what he has learned from 20 years of mountaineering and how it applies to life and business with a philosophy called SUMMIT STRATEGIES, a way of living life to your full potential, in a manner that allows you to dream to your maximum capacity. To attempt goals that you never would have tried, placing doubt and fear aside, and boldly pursuing the things you desire in every area of your life. Gary speaks about what he has learned from following his heart, pushing his limits, setting and reaching lofty goals, and living his dreams.
