Mark Pattison Speaker Biography
Mark Pattison built his life on pushing past limits. He rose from a high school Hall of Fame athlete to the University of Washington Hall of Fame to the NFL. Years later, during a difficult chapter, he set a new mission: become the first NFL player to climb the Seven Summits.
That journey tested him with storms, snow blindness, near-zero oxygen, collapsing ladders, and the emotional weight of climbing for his daughter Emilia. It also became the foundation for his upcoming book, Finding Your Summit, where he distills the mindset lessons behind his SUMMITS model.
His Everest climb and personal story became the Emmy Award winning documentary Searching for the Summit.
In business, Mark spent years helping scale major digital brands at Sports Illustrated before shifting to keynote speaking and executive coaching. Through more than 275 podcast episodes and countless stages, Mark now equips people and organizations to find purpose, build resilience, and reach their highest peaks.

SEVEN SUMMITS OF SUCCESS
Most of us are in search of something greater — to find an elevated purpose in our work and in our lives. But, we may also lack the discipline or practical knowledge for how to set a course to find it.
Through his Seven Summits of Success presentations, Mark helps business leaders and their teams get off the sidelines, re-engage in life, and win by applying a proven set of principles, process, and tools which Mark has learned from the NFL, mountains and business.
