Jeff Tiegs
As a sought-after keynote speaker, Jeff Tiegs brings unmatched credibility, powerful storytelling, and deep moral clarity to audiences seeking insight into leadership, resilience, counter terrorism, and the global fight against human exploitation.
His presentations draw from decades of elite military service and real-world experience at the highest levels of special operations. Jeff’s commanding presence, authenticity, and ability to translate battlefield lessons into practical leadership principles make him an audience favorite among corporate teams, law-enforcement professionals, faith-based organizations, and nonprofits combating injustice.
Jeff’s authority on these subjects is grounded in a distinguished career spanning more than 25 years in U.S. Army Special Operations, including service as an operator within Delta Force, the Army’s premier counter terrorism unit. Throughout his career, he led and advised teams during complex and high-risk missions around the world, with deployments in Panama, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
His expertise earned him key strategic roles, including serving as a Surgical Strike Advisor to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) Commanding General and later as the Counter Terrorism Advisor to the United States Security Coordinator (USSC) in Jerusalem, Israel.
Complementing his operational background, Jeff holds a Master’s Degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College, equipping him to speak with depth on global threats, national security, and the evolving nature of conflict.
Today, Jeff channels his experience into humanitarian impact as a leader of the Skull Games Task Force. Under his direction, the task force unites intelligence professionals from the military, law enforcement, and private sector to combat sexual exploitation.
Leveraging advanced Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), Skull Games identifies victims, exposes predators, and provides law enforcement with actionable leads that interrupt cycles of abuse. Jeff’s work helps survivors move toward lives defined by healing, dignity, and freedom; an inspiring mission he often shares with audiences as a call to purposeful action.
Where Have All the Heroes Gone?
As a special operations army commander, Jeff Tiegs anchored his life in the battlefield and the Bible. He joined the 1st Ranger Battalion at age eighteen and retired as a Delta Force lieutenant colonel. Often separated from his wife and kids, Tiegs lost friends in combat but never stopped pursuing his enemies wherever they tried to hide.
What has kept him going, what guides him still, are stories of David, the slingshot sniper who downed a giant, of a pregnant virgin bride, a rogue prophet, a betrayed liberator.
To Tiegs, these ancient tales echo within every human story. He has followed them through holy lands and combat zones where he collected a few stories of his own.
In Where Have All the Heroes Gone?, Tiegs retells familiar Bible stories through the lens of a trained warrior. He weaves personal experiences and military exploits among the threads, inviting readers to take their own pilgrimage through the front lines of faith.
