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.

In this speech, Irving discusses the ways he was able to reinvent himself as an entrepreneur and the success he's experienced.

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.
