David Goggins Biography

There is no one quite like Chief Petty Officer David Goggins. As a Navy SEAL David was one of an elite group of men regularly sent on some of the toughest missions in the world but that just wasn’t enough. David needed yet another challenge so he set about conquering the hardest sporting events known to man and is now considered to be one of the greatest endurance athletes in the country.

In less than four years David completed more than 30 endurance races including multiple ultra-marathons triathlons ultra-triathlons bike races and arduous mountain ascents setting new course records and regularly placing in the top five. In 2007 shortly before he was diagnosed with a hole in his heart David completed 203.5 miles in the 48-Hour National Championship endurance foot race beating previous records by 20 miles and earning a spot among the top 20 ultra-marathoners of the word. His extraordinary achievement earned him a feature story in Runner’s World where he was named a “Running Hero.” The Navy even asked David to be their “poster boy” by appearing in a recruiting commercial.

David’s military record alone is astonishing. He is the only member in the U.S. Armed Forces to complete SEAL training (including two Hell Weeks) the U.S. Army Ranger School (where he graduated as Honor Man) and Air Force tactical air controller training. He’s faced combat in Iraq and served as the body guard for Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari.
