Cade Courtley, host of SPIKE TV's original series Surviving Disaster, is the ideal person to host the first television series that may actually save your life in the face of imminent danger. After all, as a former Navy SEAL, Courtley faced imminent danger for a living.
Born in Columbus, OH and raised in Boulder, CO, Courtley graduated from the University of San Diego with a degree in Business Administration and was commissioned into the United States Navy as an Ensign.
Courtley reported to BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL) for SEAL training, where he was immediately given the position of Class Leader. After 19 months, two Hell Weeks, three broken legs and a fractured skull, LT Courtley graduated and became a Navy SEAL. He then reported for duty at SEAL Team Two in Little Creek, VA where he was one of two officers to attend Sniper school, a special training not normally given to officers. After 18 months of training, his platoon deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina for the next seven months, leading highly classified, high-risk operations.
When he returned from deployment, he reported for duty to SEAL Team One in Coronado, CA, got his own platoon the following week and a year later deployed to Southeast Asia for six months. It was after this deployment that he decided his operational life was nearing an end and began to make the transition to a second career in civilian life.
Opportunity came knocking when he received a phone call to participate in Mark Burnett's Combat Missions. His new career landed him in Hollywood where he made several more television and film appearances, worked as a technical advisor and wrote a produced screenplay. Now, his strong background in military Special Operations has made him the obvious choice to host Surviving Disaster. Courtley, currently living in Los Angeles, will now be in front of the camera saving lives in a whole new way. Once a SEAL, always a SEAL.
