Join us for an evening with Mark Pattison, author of the new book “Finding Your Summit: How to Build Resilience and Faith to Rise Above Life’s Challenges.” The book takes readers inside Mark’s journey from the NFL to the Seven Summits, revealing what extreme environments teach us about leadership, decision-making, resilience, and moving forward when life gets hard.

Through raw, unfiltered stories from Mount Everest, Denali, Aconcagua, and the challenges long before the mountains, Mark shows how clarity, discipline, and endurance are built one deliberate step at a time. The book makes one truth unmistakably clear: the most demanding climbs are often the ones happening inside us.

“Finding Your Summit” is more than a story about mountains. It is a guide for leaders, athletes, entrepreneurs, and anyone in transition who is ready to rise above their circumstances, rebuild with intention, and climb toward a life that demands more—and rewards the effort it takes to earn it.

Registration recommended to save your seat. The program will also be livestreamed and available to watch later on the Library’s Event Archive on Vimeo.
