About
Nick Lavery is a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret. On a 2013 deployment to Afghanistan, an insider attack resulted in the loss of his leg. After a year of surgeries and recovery, he refused medical retirement and returned to operational status in 2015 — the first Special Forces operator to return to combat as an above-the-knee amputee.
He is the author of "Objective Secure: The Battle-Tested Guide to Goal Achievement" (2022), a speaker and trainer working with corporations, schools, and sports teams, and gave the TEDx talk "Living by an Ethos."
