Early life

Nicholas Irving was born on November 28, 1986, in Augsburg, Germany. His parents were both enlisted soldiers.[2][3]

Career

Military

Irving originally intended to join the Navy SEALs, but he failed a colorblindness test. He instead joined the United States Army Rangers and served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was issued a SR-25 rifle, which he nicknamed Dirty Diana. With that rifle he has 33 confirmed kills.[2][4]

Entertainment

After the Army, Irving pursued an entertainment career.[citation needed]

In 2016, Irving was one of four military leaders to serve as coaches on the reality show American Grit with John Cena.[5][6][7]

Starting in August 2017, Irving began appearing as a recurring guest on the popular firearm YouTube channel, Demolition Ranch. He has also made appearances on other YouTube channels such as, LunkersTV and Insider.[citation needed]

He also served as an on-set advisor for Doug Liman's 2017 sniper film The Wall.[citation needed]

Author

In 2015, he wrote and published with Gary Brozek The Reaper: Autobiography of One of the Deadliest Special Ops Snipers, a New York Times bestseller about his military career during the War on Terror.[8][9][10] On February 2, 2015, The Weinstein Company acquired the television rights to make a miniseries out of the autobiography.[11] On March 5, 2015, NBC picked up the miniseries from Weinstein.[12] In late 2017 Irving revealed in a podcast that the miniseries has been scrapped, but a movie based on the book was in preproduction.[13]

Personal life

Irving married Jessica Irving in 2007.[1][2]
