Nicholas Irving Biography

A former 3rd Ranger Battalion Sniper, Nicholas Irving was called by his fellow peers simply, "Reaper". He earned this title after a single 3 1/2 month deployment as a sniper squad leader to Afghanistan where he was credited with over 33 enemy kills (probables unknown). Not only was this such a high amount of enemy kills within his Battalion as a direct action sniper, Nicholas Irving was also the first African American sniper to serve in 3rd Ranger Battalion.

Irving is currently an instructor in South Texas where he instructs a a wide range of students in the art of precision shooting. He is also the CEO and founder of HardShoot©. His memoir, "The Reaper: Autobiography of One of the Deadliest Special Ops Snipers," was released in January of 2016.

Nicholas Irving Speaking Topics

Post-Military Life as an Entrepreneur

Despite his success in the military, Nicholas Irving felt like he had hit rock bottom once he returned to the United States. He overcame his struggles by working hard and ended up starting two successful companies, one of which is his training company HardShoot©, available to military, law enforcement, civilians, and contractors. In this speech, Irving discusses the ways he was able to reinvent himself as an entrepreneur and the success he's experienced.

Perspective: A Personal Story

Nicholas Irving was the most unlikely of candidates to become one of the greatest snipers in Army Ranger history. The first African American to serve as a sniper in his battalion, Irving famously became known as “The Reaper” by the end of his active service, tallying an astounding 33 kills as a master sniper in addition to setting records for enemy kills on a single deployment. In this speech, he provides an inside look at what those in the special operations community go through, as well as some background on his life pre- and post-military service.
