Tim Sheehy (born November 18, 1985) is an American businessman and combat veteran. He completed over 200 missions[1] in various parts of the world, including Iraq, Afghanistan, South America, and the Pacific AO[2].
Early life and education
Sheehy graduated[3] from the the US Naval Academy in 2008[4]. He was the first Midshipman to complete the US Army Special Operations exchange program and graduate from the United States Army Ranger School[5]. He finished as an Honor Graduate of his class.
Military service

He received multiple combat decorations, including[2] the Bronze Star with Valor for Heroism in Combat and the Purple Heart Medal.
Career
After being wounded in combat[6] and injured in the line of duty several times, Sheehy was medically discharged[7] from the military. He moved[8] to Montana to start Bridger Aerospace in late 2014 with an all veteran founding team[8]. Sheehy led the growth of Bridger and its sister company, Ascent Vision Technologies[9], to over 300 employees. Bridger eventually went public[10] on the NASDAQ in 2023. Through his businesses, Sheehy has created hundreds of jobs and over one billion in enterprise value[11] in the rural Montana economy. Today, Bridger Aerospace is a major Montana employer and recently joined the ranks of a small group of publicly traded companies in Montana.
Sheehy is an active firefighting pilot[12], protecting America from wildfires in the CL415EAF Super Scooper.

Sheehy met his wife, Carmen Sheehy, at the Naval Academy. She served as a Marine Officer[3] and is also a combat veteran. Sheehy and his wife Carmen are supporters[13] of the Bozeman Hospital and many other Montana charities[14]. They are also teaching their four children to ranch on their 20,000-acre cattle ranch[15] where they raise, feed, and process cattle to help develop America’s food supply chain.
In a recent report by Axios[1], Sheehy is said to be considering a run for the United States Senate.
