About Wayne Siegmund

It's not enough to understand another's perspective; a shift in how you perceive the world is needed. Wayne Siegmund can help you with that.

After 20 years as a career gymnast, Wayne sustained a serious injury, forcing him to retire from the sport he loved. It was the toughest decision he ever had to make. The truth is, he was not done challenging his body with what his mind desired to accomplish. Wayne's enlistment into the Navy came with the Navy SEAL Challenge Program contract, a challenge he was committed to facing head-on. After completing numerous training schools at his first two commands, he led as the Off-Road Mobility Division Instructor in 2009 for all East Coast-based Navy SEALs.

Wayne screened favorably for an Advanced Special Operations command in 2012 and moved himself and his family to Europe in 2015 to join Special Operations Command-Africa as the Joint Operations Group Non-Commissioned Officer-In-Charge. In 2018, he and his family moved back to Virginia Beach, where he would become his former command's Current Operations Manager, a Platoon Chief, and finally, as the primary Course Manager for Training, he led three highly successful large-scale multi-agency exercises.

Wayne retired with the same focus, fortitude, perseverance, and commitment he came in with. However, he departed with a greater understanding of what people care about, how best to connect with them, share vulnerabilities, build trust, and help them see that one's perception isn't everything if we are willing to see a new perspective.
