Dooley brings his passion for personal development and a diverse range of professional experiences to his role at the Hyperbaric Health and Wellness Foundation.

At 16, Monty joined the delayed entry, dive-farer program, to become a US Navy SEAL. He proudly served his country, twice awarded the Bronze Star with combat Valor designation. From the defense contracting sector, he led the Navy’s SEAL Mentorship Program and the BUD/S Preparatory Program - the first two steps in the SEAL candidates' training pipeline. Monty then managed executive protection details for Forbes 400 families, as well as a 614,000 acre eco resort. For the past five years, Monty has passionately supported the veteran community through non-profit organizations; with Higher Ground, he is honored to help veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury and military sexual trauma. As Executive Director of VetToCEO, he is privileged to help veterans learn critical business skills. Because Monty prefers “and” to “or”, he also works with numerous for-profits across the country, serving in such roles as Director of Veterans in Business with PrimePay, marketing and leadership with American Revolution Vodka, and workplace violence/active shooter training with Trident Shield. When not working, Monty enjoys the outdoors with family, pets or a dirt bike.
