Members of Sons of the Flag talk with Shay Eskew, Iron Man and author of What the Fire Ignited. Shay is an All American/All World ranked triathlete, former black bear researcher, burn survivor with scars on over 65% of his body, bestselling author, and motivational speaker.
At the age of eight, Shay was set afire by a neighbor’s child and credited with saving the life of his seven-year-old friend. Despite being told he’d never play sports again and enduring over 35 surgeries the last 36 years, Shay is a 4x IRONMAN, 4x member of Team USA, 25x IRONMAN 70.3 athlete, ranked top 1% of IRONMAN worldwide, and has competed in 11 triathlon World Championships in seven countries on four continents, including the IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. Additionally, Shay is a sponsored triathlete of Newton Running and First Endurance and a longstanding member of the IRONMAN Foundation ambassador team. Equally impressive, Shay is the proud father of five kids under 13.
