Full Bio
Morgan Luttrell grew up on a Texas horse ranch with his twin brother, best-selling author, and Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell. Luttrell’s strong sense of duty at an early age developed into the desire to serve his country as a Navy SEAL. After graduating from Sam Houston State University with a degree in psychology and philosophy, Luttrell enlisted in the Navy, graduating BUD/s with class 237. After serving as a SEAL for seven years, Luttrell attended Officer Candidate School, after which he became a commissioned officer with Naval Special Warfare. While the transition from enlisted SEAL to officer was difficult, Luttrell met the challenge with honor and integrity. Throughout his tenure, he earned several awards, including two Sea Service Deployment Ribbons, two Good Conduct Medals, and an Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom medal.
Luttrell retired in his 14th year of service with multiple deployments in support of the war on terror. After retirement, he went on to pursue an advanced degree in applied cognition and neuroscience at The University of Texas at Dallas and graduated with honors, which set a strong foundation for him to support his military brothers and first responders. He has served as the campaign director for the ReBoot Program, a veteran-assistance program providing a comprehensive and individualized approach to increasing the mental and physical well-being of America’s military and first responding heroes. The program employs the expertise of the Center for Brain Health at the University of Texas at Dallas, where Luttrell has served as a research scientist after graduating. In 2017 Luttrell received his appointment to the Department of Energy as senior advisor to the Secretary.
He recently completed his executive education at Harvard Business School focused on professional leadership development. Luttrell resides in Texas with his wife and two sons.
