The Origin

Start where you are. Rebuild from there.

Timothy Cobb was a Navy Combat 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, and in BUD/S (SEAL) training, he blew out his right hip. Full orthopedic reconstructive surgery followed in October of 2013.

The orthopedist gave him a choice: class back up in BUD/S, risking a permanent hip replacement before 50, or walk away and build something new. He chose a different path when exiting the Navy in May 2014.

What followed was a decade of rebuilding himself not just physically, but professionally, and personally. Along the way he worked in private equity, commercial brokerage, and real estate development. Along the journey came a couple of books, a few hard lessons, and a growing conviction that what we learn rebuilding can be useful to someone else.

Rebuilt & Forward is a place he shares those lessons.

What Rebuilt & Forward Stands For

Three Pillars. One Mission.

01
Resilience & Identity
For veterans, injured athletes, and anyone whose identity was tied to something they lost. The work of rebuilding who you are, not who you were, is the hardest and most important work there is.
02
Sales & Influence
Selling isn't a profession, it's a life skill. Every conversation, negotiation, and relationship is a form of selling. The F.O.R.W.A.R.D. system teaches you to do it with integrity, empathy, and results.
03
Entrepreneurship
Building something from nothing, especially after losing everything, requires a specific kind of mindset. Tim has lived it across real estate, startups, and solo ventures, and teaches from that lived experience.
