Bill Brown

Navy SEAL / Lawyer

Adventure Therapy is a story of great adventures, lessons, struggles, defeats and victories.

Bill Brown was a rough and tumble kid whose life was saved by the SEAL Teams and then refined by College and Law School.

Bill inadvertently found himself in BUD/s SEAL Training where he realized he has a chance to prove to the world he was a winner.
He was young and cocky, and his disposition got him the hammer at SEAL Training. It didn’t go over well when Bill got a Friedrich Nietzche quote tattoo over his heart, “Whatever Doesn’t kill Me, Makes Me Stronger” the night before the first day of training. To humiliate and humble Bill, the SEAL Instructors gave Bill nickname Freak Brown. It felt like he was being struck with a whip every time the instructors call him Freak.
Bill remembered all his family had gone through, and all he had endured in his youth and the marathons he had run as a teenager to give him the strength to continue while many others quit.
He was pushed to the brink but learned many valuable lessons along the way. This experience showed him the value of courage and taught him to think and act tactically.
However, Bill’s goals were crushed just short of the finish line when he was dropped two weeks from graduation for weapons practical because the SEAL Instructors thought he was too dumb to be a SEAL.

Because Bill never quit and got so close to graduation before being dropped from training, he was able to make a deal with the Board of Training Officer that he would go to Diego Garcia for a year as a Navy Cop before receiving automatic orders back to SEAL training to start all over again at day 1.

Diego Garcia is small but beautiful tropical island two thousand miles off the cost of India.
While at Diego Garcia Bill had many adventures including training with the British Commandos stationed there, smuggling Coconut Crabs for the Filipino DOD workers and even arresting his LPO in the middle of the Jungle.
Bill knew the hammer was waiting for him back at SEAL training and got so drunk before his flight off of Deigo Garcia that he has to crawl up the steps of the Airplane back to the states.

The SEAL Instructors welcomed Bill back to training by immediately calling him Freak Brown and making him get wet and sandy.
Because of his previous experience in SEAL Training, Bill soon became one of the leaders in his class. Chris Kyle, David Goggins and Bill Brown were all in the famous Boat Crew II.
After many adventures Bill graduated SEAL Training in Class 231 before getting assigned to SEAL Team 8.

Although being a SEAL on 9/11, Bill’s first SEAL deployment was throughout Europe where he had many adventures. Bill was a JTAC and helped prepare Navy Air Assets for Shock and Awe by having them run JTARs while on a bombing range in an Albanian island. He also observed surrounding Navy warships launching tomahawks into Iraq while on the USS LaSalle.

Bill’s second SEAL deployment was a war deployment in Iraq where he was part of a Personal Security Detail for Interim Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq, Barham Salih. Bill participated in snatch and grap, reconnaissance and surveillance, and sniper operations and was a first responder to two suicide bombings in Iraq. While in Iraq in 04 and 05 woman voted for the first time. Bill served with many beautiful men in the SEAL Teams. John Faahs, Danny Dietz, Brian Bill and Nate Hardy were all good friends who were killed in battle for our nation. During his brief stay in Kuwait, Bill helped keep the Navy KNB base supplied with Kuwait moonshine that he and a few friends would smuggle in from Kuwait City. During this time, Bill also had some interesting times partying in large tents in the middle of the desert with rich Kuwaitis and Russian Prostitutes. After his third deployment overseas and honorably serving our nation for 8 years he decided it was time to decompress and maximized the GI Bill to redefine himself.

While in undergrad Bill felt guilty for not being in the fight with his brothers so he focused on being a Veterans Advocate after being subjected to woke professors who had misguided perspectives on honorable military service. Bill organized petitions against liberal professors who had crossed the line in their comments regarding the Iraq War. He also started the first student group for Veterans at Rutgers (Veterans for Education) and first scholarship for Veterans at Rutgers (The Jeremy Kane Veterans for Education Endowed Scholarship) which he and another veteran, Efren Gonzalez ran 65 miles straight (11 hours and 33 minutes) from the Rutgers Camden Campus to Rutgers New Brunswick Campus to raise $20k for the scholarship. Bill also organized three congressional debates strictly on Iraq and Afghanistan veteran issues. While advocating for Veterans Bill made friendships with several politicos and ran for State Assembly in New Jersey as a Democrat before the party went full woke.

While in undergrad, Bill took a Constitutional Law course with Professor Allan Tarr where he learned about the great ideals transcribed in the Constitution of life, liberty, equality, and due process that make our nation exceptional. He also learned of the great measures our nation took to try and meet those great ideals. The Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Suffrage Movement, the Gay and Lesbian Movement all moved our nation closer to meeting those ideals. This course led Bill to enroll in more political science courses and to pursue a Law Degree.

While at Rutgers Law, Bill battled more Liberal Professors and even put one tenured Nobel prize winning Law Professor Roger Clark’s exam on a Iraq and Afghanistan blog to show the world how insensitive and politically woke the legal community had become. During this time Bill was also involved with a verbal confrontation with Governor Chris Christie that went viral regarding the proposed takeover of Rutgers Camden.

Bill was recently fired from New Jersey’s oldest and largest law firm McCarter & English, LLP (“M&E) over a Linkedin Post.
M&E, like many other major law firms had become run by the DEI Committee and their woke agenda. Bill now works for Tim Parlatore, a former Navy Officer turned Trump attorney who successfully acquitted fellow Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher. Bill now represents service members, veterans, agents, police officers and firefighters while advocating for veterans, free speech and recently Jewish Americans.

Bill is also the founder and Lead SEAL of the NYC SEAL Swim.
