He didn't set out to be an expert.
He learned by rebuilding.
Timothy Cobb was a Navy Riverine who ran long distance for fun and earned his way into BUD/S Class 301 — the training program that produces Navy SEALs — after a deployment to the Middle East. In SEAL training, he blew out his right hip. Full reconstructive surgery followed in 2013.
His orthopedist gave him a choice: go back to BUD/S and risk a permanent hip replacement before 50, or walk away and build something new. He chose a different path.
What followed was a decade of rebuilding — physically, professionally, and personally. Along the way came work in private equity, brokerage, and development, a few books, a few hard lessons, and a growing conviction that what we learn rebuilding can be useful to someone else, too.
Rebuilt & Forward is a place to share those lessons — and keep learning in public.
