Andy Stumpf spent 17 years as a Navy SEAL, including as a SEAL Team 6 Operator. During a combat deployment in Iraq, he was shot at close range by an AK-47. He returned to the battlefield six months later, and went on to earn 5 Bronze Star Medals with Valor and the Purple Heart before being medically retired in 2013. Post-military, he has set two wingsuit world records, jumping from 36,500 feet and flying over 18 miles to raise $1 million for the Navy SEAL Foundation. Today, he is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, host of Cleared Hot Podcast, and author of Drownproof.
