climbing2007-10-15-1192486318.jpgKevin Flynn, a partner in the Perinton based marketing firm of Martino Flynn, occupies a corner office on --ironically --the ground floor of a local office park.  Ironic,  because in his spare time he often seeks out the highest places one can venture without being in a plane.

Flynn, an ardent mountain climber, is one of only 30 Americans (and one of only  90 people in the entire world) to have successfully scaled the "Seven Summits"  That is to say, he has scaled the peaks of the highest mountains on each of the 7 continents.

Click on the video icon to watch our entire story, and learn why Kevin does what he does, ....how much he's spent on his hobby over the years, and what he might do after this.
