Kevin Lacz was born and raised in central Connecticut before enrolling in James Madison University in 2000. When the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 claimed the life of a good friend's father, he decided to leave school in favor of military service with the aim to become a Navy SEAL. He graduated BUD/S with Class 246 and also attended 18D Special Operations Combat Medic School at Fort Bragg before checking into SEAL Team THREE in Coronado, California.

Kevin Completed two combat deployments to Iraq (2006 and 2008) with SEAL Team THREE (Charlie and Delta platoons) as a platoon sniper, breacher, and combat medic. His platoon's 2006 deployment to Ramadi, then the most dangerous city in Iraq, has been discussed in several books, including Chris Kyle's American Sniper and Dick Couch's The Sheriff of Ramadi. Kevin's presence in Sniper led to his involvement in the production of and eventual casting in the Oscar nominated Clint Eastwood directed Chris Kyle biopic by the same name (starring Bradley Cooper). Upon completing his enlistment, Kevin was honorably discharged from the Navy. He was awarded a number of commendations for his service, including a Bronze Star with a combat 'V'.

He completed a degree in Political Science in 2011 from UCONN and a Masters of Health Sciences from Wake Forest University. Currently, Kevin works as a Physician Assistant in Pensacola. He enjoys using his past experiences to facilitate his work in medicine and charity. His military service influences him greatly as he seeks to actively support service members and veterans in his community. Kevin is happy to have found a home in Florida with his wife, Lindsey, and two young children.
