Eddie Penney

"Eddie Penney was on top of the world, serving as an operator in one of the U.S. military's elite units, actively engaged in the Global War on Terror. He had achieved his childhood goal of becoming the best of the best. Then, in the midst of near-constant combat, the unthinkable happened: two weeks before he was scheduled to go on an overseas deployment, Penney became the single father of three young children. This hardened warrior who had never changed a diaper became a sole caregiver thanks to the custody decision of a family court judge. It would prove to be his biggest challenge to date. Penney dug into his new role with the same zeal with which he had attacked his enemies, putting his military career on-hold as he juggled the endless tasks of both mother and father.

Eddie Penney spent 20 years in the U.S. military, both as a Marine and a Navy SEAL. Penney completed seven combat deployments during the Global War on Terror where he completed hundreds of high-risk missions. He now serves as the founder and CEO of Contingent Group, a private security firm specializing in international operations.
