Zachary Garner Biography

Zachary Garner is a retired Green Beret, resilience expert, and keynote speaker recognized for his work in human performance, mental health, and overcoming adversity. Garner joined the U.S. Army and served for more than a decade, completing multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, concluding his military career at 7th Special Forces Group as a Green Beret. During his service, he held assignments with 1st Infantry Division, 10th Mountain Division, and 7th Special Forces Group. He earned his Green Beret after attending Special Forces Assessment and Selection at Fort Bragg and served as a Special Forces communications sergeant.

Garner was medically separated from the military after sustaining multiple traumatic brain injuries and developing epilepsy. Following his separation, he rode a bicycle across the United States—5,500 miles—to raise awareness about mental health issues in the military and non-pharmaceutical treatment options. He later became an endurance coach for cyclists until he was struck by a car during a half Ironman. During his recovery, he returned to service as a contractor, deploying four additional times.

Garner faced further challenges when he was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis, which spread into his bones and heart, resulting in ten months in the hospital and more than 30 surgeries. Over 18 months, he also suffered two strokes. This experience led him to share the lessons learned throughout his recovery with both veteran and civilian communities, focusing on providing solutions to common obstacles in health and wellness.

Garner has participated in the 7X Human Performance Project, an initiative involving special operations veterans and professional extreme athletes. The project includes seven skydives, seven marathons, and seven swims on seven continents in seven days, with the primary goal of gathering human performance data to benefit modern warfighters and first responders. The mission aims to create a manual to help these individuals achieve physiological homeostasis.

Drawing on his background as a former Green Beret, government contractor, and Department of Defense instructor, Garner speaks on topics such as health and wellness, leadership, military service, and motivation, providing audiences with insight into endurance, adaptation, and thriving in the face of adversity.
