Chad Williams Biography

Chad Williams is a regular guest on Anderson Cooper 360, Fox News Channel, CNN News Room, and more; where he gets to share his experience in the military, which provides a Navy SEAL's perspective on issues related to effective leadership, resilience, teamwork, overcoming adversity and motivation. Before enrolling for the SEAL training, Chad's decision was tested one morning when he turned on his television and saw the unexpected graphic video footage of his mentor and training partner, Navy SEAL Scott Helvenston, who was brutally killed, mutilated, and dragged through the streets of Fallujah, Iraq; hung upside-down from the Euphrates River Bridge while an irate Iraqi mob repeatedly celebrated and chanted in Arabic, “Fallujah is the graveyard of Americans.” Helvenston's body was set ablaze as Chad watched. Forged by adversity, Chad became motivated to complete his SEAL Training in honor and memory of his good friend, Scott Helvenston. Chad enrolled in the military's most difficult and most grueling training known as BUD/S. As 1 of 13 out of a class of 173 trainees, Chad climbed the mountain and earned his Trident which signifies he had become a Navy SEAL. Chad learned the SEAL Team motto “earn your Trident everyday” which means the SEALs don't rest on their laurels, the training is never really over because they always strive for better! Serving his country proudly through multiple deployments on SEAL Teams One and Seven, Chad continued to hone the technical skill, tactical proficiency and attention to detail that our nation's best warriors adhere to. In an ironic final operation in Iraq, Chad shares the story of how his SEAL Team was set up on a premeditated ambush similar to the location and scenario that took the life of his mentor Scott Helvenston but on that occasion Chad and his Team were victorious, overcoming the enemy and odds set against them in a gun battle to the death. Today, Chad is a best-selling author of, “SEAL of God” with over 100,000 copies sold and an in demand keynote speaker. Chad grabs the attention of his listeners by sharing his experiences as a SEAL, on and off the battlefield, illustrating the SEAL mindset and ethos that revolve around leadership, integrity, teamwork, grit, safety, mental toughness, discipline and overcoming adversity.
