Kevin "Dauber" Lacz (born December 26, 1981) is a United States Navy SEAL veteran who served two tours in the Iraq War.
His platoon's 2006 deployment to Ramadi has been discussed in several books, including Dick Couch's The Sheriff of Ramadi, Jim DeFelice's Code Name: Johnny Walker, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy Seals Lead and Win and Chris Kyle's New York Times best-selling autobiography, American Sniper.
Lacz's presence in the book led to his involvement in the production of and eventual casting in the Clint Eastwood-directed Oscar-winning biopic of the same name (starring Bradley Cooper).
As a Hospital Corpsman, Lacz also attended 18-D Special Operations Combat Medic School[citation needed] at Fort Bragg before checking into SEAL Team 3 in Coronado, California.
'[1] In 2008, Lacz returned to Iraq, joining Chris Kyle for another deployment focusing on the border with Syria and the interception of foreign fighters trying to infiltrate the country.
[2] Currently, Lacz works as a physician assistant in northwest Florida and southeastern Alabama, where he is co-owner of Regenesis, a lifestyle and performance medicine medical practice.
