Jack Carr

Jack Carr is a bestselling thriller author, former Navy SEAL sniper, and avid outdoorsman. Carr led special operations teams as a Team Leader, Platoon Commander, Troop Commander and Task Unit Commander. Over his 20 years in Naval Special Warfare he transitioned from an enlisted SEAL sniper, to a junior officer leading assault and sniper teams in Iraq and Afghanistan, to a platoon commander practicing counterinsurgency in the southern Philippines, to commanding a Special Operations Task Unit in the most Iranian influenced section of southern Iraq throughout the tumultuous drawdown of U.S. Forces.

A sought-after consultant in the outdoor and tactical industries, Carr speaks regularly on leadership and team building to businesses across industries. His acclaimed first novel, "The Terminal List," is a political military thriller about a Navy SEAL who discovers that he has been betrayed by the U.S. government — and his quest for vengeance. His other books include "True Believer," "Savage Son," "The Devil's Hand," and "In the Blood."

Carr also serves on the board of directors of Valor for Life, a non-profit organization providing military veterans with no-cost surgical spine care. He retired from active duty in 2016 and lives with his wife and three children in Park City, Utah.
