Tim Sheehy is a former Navy SEAL with a hole in his heart, a bullet in his arm, a plan to become Montana’s next US senator and a mission to fix America’s wildfire crisis.
The 38-year-old is the founder and chief executive officer of Bridger Aerospace, which uses sophisticated aerial imaging and reconnaissance technology inspired by Sheehy’s time in the military to map fires, then sends gigantic tanker planes to carpet bomb the infernos with water. The industry has helped make him rich, while providing the adrenaline rushes he craves.
Now, without taking a step back from the business, he’s embarking on a new mission: seeking the Republican nomination to run against incumbent Senator Jon Tester in his adopted state. He’s got the support of billionaires Steve Schwarzman and Ken Griffin, former President Donald Trump(who Sheehy has also endorsed for his 2024 run) and much of the state’s GOP establishment.
