Andy Stumpf - Danger Brings Clarity: How To Conquer Your Fears & Thrive In High-Risk Situations

Former Navy SEAL

Andy Stumpf was born and raised in Northern California.  From the age of 11 he knew that he wanted to become a Navy SEAL, and it became the single driving force in his life.

He enlisted in the Navy while still a Junior in high school, entering military service in 1996.  After completing boot camp he began the most grueling training program in the US Military – Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL, known as BUD/s.

Nearly 90% of all candidates are unsuccessful completing the six month program.  Andy graduated and began his SEAL career attached to SEAL Team Five, in Coronado California.

Throughout his 17-year career, Andy executed hundreds of combat operations throughout the world in support of the Global War on Terror.  He was medically retired in June of 2013.  His awards and decorations include 5 Bronze Star Medals (Four with Valor), the Purple Heart, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, The Navy and Marine Corp Commendation Medal with Valor, Three Navy and Marine Corp Achievement Medals, Two Combat Action Ribbons, and the presidential Unit Citation.

Although no longer wearing a uniform, Andy continues to fight for the SEAL community, and their families.  In 2015 he set two World Records after jumping from 36,500 feet and flying over 18 miles in a wingsuit in an effort to raise 1 Million Dollars for the Navy SEAL Foundation.  Andy is a sponsored skydiver and BASE jumper, constantly traveling the world creating content for his sponsors.

His business experience includes managing corporate development and licensing, as well as Charitable Initiatives for a global fitness brand, focusing on strategic relationships and sponsorship opportunities with Fortune 500 Brands.  In addition to his management experience, Andy became the company pilot, accruing 3500 hours of flight time, earning his Airline Transportation Pilot’s license, as well as type certifications in Gulfstream G-IV and Citation 525 series aircraft.
