Navy SEAL to Bestselling Author to TV Producer: Jack Carr

We are excited to welcome former Navy SEAL Sniper, Team Leader, Platoon Commander, Troop Commander and Task Unit Commander, as well as bestselling author and producer of 'The Terminal List' television series based on his book: Jack Carr to HBH. Jack shares incredible insights into how his love of reading and writing shaped his life beginning at a young age and helped him discover his career. Jack tells us the story of what he considers one of the defining moments of his time as a SEAL Sniper in Iraq, and it may surprise you.

During 20 years in Naval Special Warfare, Jack transitioned from an enlisted SEAL sniper to a junior officer leading assault and sniper teams in Iraq and Afghanistan, to a platoon commander practicing counterinsurgency in the southern Philippines, to commanding a Special Operations Task Unit in southern Iraq throughout the tumultuous drawdown of U.S. Forces. Jack retired from active duty in 2016 and lives with his family in Park City, Utah. 

Make sure you check out all that Jack has going on: his podcast ‘Danger Close with Jack Carr’, his latest New York Times Bestselling novel, ‘In The Blood’, and ‘The Terminal List’, a new television series on Amazon Prime Video starring Chris Pratt, based on Jack’s book of the same name.
