Serving his country proudly through multiple deployments as a U.S. Navy SEAL, on SEAL Teams One and Seven, Williams honed the qualities and values that our nation’s best adhere to. In a final operation in Iraq, his SEAL team was set up on a premeditated ambush similar to the location and scenario that took the life of his mentor Scott Helvenston, but on that occasion he and his team were able to overcome the enemy and complete the mission. Today, Chad is a bestselling author of the book, SEAL of God, and an in-demand keynote speaker. He is also a frequent guest on Fox News Channel, CNN News Room, Anderson Cooper 360, and other national news programs. Drawing from his experiences, Chad captivates his audiences as he illustrates the SEAL mindset and ethos, including leadership, teamwork, integrity, safety, mental toughness, discipline, overcoming adversity and grit.
