Sean Tracy is a U.S. Navy veteran who served as a Search and Rescue (SAR) Swimmer and parlayed his military experience into other high-intensity pursuits. He is the first and only person to complete an expedition from the lowest point (Death Valley) to the highest point (Mt. Denali) in North America. He began with a 3,600-mile bike tour to traverse between the two locations, and proceeded to summit Mt. Denali once arriving in Alaska. Sean is also an active ultra-marathon runner who has completed numerous 100+ mile races including the Badwater 135, and is the originator of the Denali 135 race through Denali National Park. When he's not undertaking such grueling endeavors, he manages Hewn Spirits distillery in Eastern Pennsylvania.
