Shawn Ryan is a former U.S. Navy SEAL and CIA contractor known for his operational experience in global conflict zones. Over a fourteen-year career in military and intelligence roles, Ryan completed more than 20 deployments across 14 different theaters, directly engaging in counterterrorism operations and developing advanced tactical skills. After transitioning from military service, Ryan founded Vigilance Elite, a company that provides training in weapons handling and tactical response for law enforcement and civilians.
