TRAVIS KENNEDY

Born and raised in Southern California, I joined the Navy in 2006 with the goal of becoming a Navy SEAL. After graduating from SEAL training, I went onto complete the Special Operations Combat Medic course. From there, I was stationed at SEAL Team Four where I completed two successful combat deployments to Afghanistan. I went on to become a Basic Underwater Demolition/Seal (BUD/s) instructor and was able to develop and mentor future SEALs. Being an instructor was one of the most rewarding times of my career.

After my time as an instructor, I returned to SEAL Team Four and completed another deployment while simultaneously completing my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.

Shortly after, I served as the leading Chief Petty Officer running the Special Operations Urban Combat training division. In this role, I focused on urban combat tactics, combat shooting, and professional development.

In April 2019, I separated from the military in order to follow my next calling of giving back, teaching, and mentoring others so they may grow individually and professionally. I do this by applying years of experience as a United States Navy SEAL to educate and train individuals on defensive shooting tactics and instilling the “Thinking Shooter” mindset.
