Tim Sheehy is a former Navy SEAL Officer who deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, South America, and the Pacific region, according to his campaign. Sheehy also says he was the first Midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy to participate in the Army’s Special Operations exchange program and the first to graduate from the Army’s Ranger School. After graduation, he was commissioned into the Navy and completed SEAL training. During his service, Sheehy received a bronze star for valor and a purple heart after he was knocked unconscious by an IED blast, according to local reporting.
Sheehy was medically separated from active duty due to injuries he received in Afghanistan, according to a resume posted by the Montana legislature. He’s also the CEO of Bridger Aerospace, which provides aerial wildfire surveillance and firefighting services to federal and state government agencies.
Since launching his campaign, Sheehy has widely shared an anecdote of a gunshot wound he said he received while on deployment to Afghanistan.

“I got thick skin — though it’s not thick enough. I have a bullet stuck in this arm still from Afghanistan,” Sheehy said in a video of a campaign event posted to social media while pointing to his forearm.
