When tragedy struck at the age of 8, a young boy’s life was changed forever. Burned over 65% of his body with his right arm melted to his side, Shay Eskew was told of the limitations that would lay ahead for him and what he could not do. The doctors didn’t know that the fire never went out for Shay but instead gave him passion, courage, and strength to overcome.
“I learned early on that I couldn’t control what happened to me, but I could control what I did about it,” says Shay. A proud father of five kids, Shay is a four-time Ironman, four-time member of Team USA, and is ranked in the top 1% of Ironman competitors worldwide. Oh yeah, he has competed in 12 triathlon world championships and, in his spare time, accumulated extensive experience in the healthcare profession, including revenue cycle management.
