World Adventurer, Motivator & World Record Holder; First Person to Climb the 7 Summits & Sail the 7 Seas
Martin Frey Biography
Martin Frey is a Guinness World Record holder, adventurer, and motivational speaker recognized for being the first person to climb the Seven Summits—the highest peaks on each continent—and sail the Seven Seas. Guinness World Records acknowledged Frey on NBC's "The Today Show" for this achievement. His journey covered more than 35,000 nautical miles and over 14.5 vertical miles.
Frey's pursuit of adventure was influenced by personal ambition and the loss of his climbing partner, Steve Gasser, who encouraged him to climb all Seven Summits. After Gasser's death, Frey was motivated to complete their shared goal. He began with Kilimanjaro while in Africa and faced significant challenges, including a near-frostbite incident on Mount Everest. Frey completed the Seven Summits with Mount Vinson in Antarctica and subsequently sailed across the North Atlantic, Indian Ocean, South Atlantic, Southern Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and North Pacific, accomplishing the dual feat.
Before his record-setting adventures, Frey had a career in business and public service. He spent 13 years in Silicon Valley as a senior director for Cisco, leading a global organization supporting major clients. He later served as managing director of the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Development, where he developed programs to support business growth and recruitment in Utah. Frey holds a degree in mechanical engineering from BYU and completed Harvard's Advanced Management Program.
Frey draws on his experiences to deliver motivational speeches on topics such as adventure, motivation, teamwork, personal growth, business leadership, and business growth. He emphasizes overcoming self-imposed limitations and shares practical strategies for achieving personal and professional goals.
Frey is the founder of Summit Journeys, a nonprofit organization focused on encouraging youth to engage with nature and develop character through outdoor adventure. He is dedicated to mentoring young people and has spoken to large audiences about the value of resilience and possibility. Frey shares that he is not a sailing or mountaineering expert, but someone who chose challenging goals to reach his own potential.
