Rorke denver at laxcon what you need to know about leadership
Early life and military work
Denver was born in Northern California and graduated college in 1996 from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He graduated from University of San Diego with a Master’s Degree in Global Business Leadership.
In 1999, Denver completed his training as a SEAL. He then began a 13-year career in the US military. In 2006, Denver was officer in charge of BRAVO Platoon of SEAL Team Three in Iraq’s Al Anbar Province in one of the most combat-heavy deployments of any regular SEAL team since Vietnam. He conducted over 190 sniper missions. In 2009, he became First Phase Officer of BUD/S, then rose to Basic Training Officer.
In a Wall Street Journal article, Denver stated: "I witnessed the exceptional performance of SEAL, Army, and Marine snipers on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. They struck psychological fear in our enemies and protected countless lives. Chris Kyle and the sniper teams I led made a habit of infiltrating dangerous areas of enemy-controlled ground, established shooting positions and coordinated security for large conventional-unit movement."
