Rick Kaiser Biography

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Rick Kaiser joined the U.S. Navy at age 17. He attended Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL (BUD/S) training Class 109 in Coronado, CA. Kaiser was assigned to SEAL Team TWO in Little Creek, VA in 1980. He served at SEAL Team TWO from 1980 until 1985, specializing in winter warfare, combat diving, and sniping until he was selected for duty at SEAL Team SIX in 1985.

In 1993, Kaiser received the Silver Star Medal for Valor during the Battle of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down). During his time at ST-6, Kaiser acted as an assaulter, sniper, explosives expert, lead training Chief, sniper team leader, and Deputy Operations Officer from 1985 until 2012.

As a speaker he naturally commands a room, inspires and motivates others to reach beyond and never quit.

Kaiser continues to serve his country and fellow SEALs by helping to educate others about this unique special operations force and further the Frogman heritage as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum. He is married to Barbara Kaiser and has two children, Emily and Eric. Kaiser and Barbara currently reside in Vero Beach, Florida.
