Andrew Beeghly’s Active Lifestyle

It is hard to imagine how someone with the kind of resume that Andrew Beeghly has put together can find time for any extracurricular activities at all. The 33 year old physician has been all over the world serving international humanitarian relief efforts, and now serves as a Battalion Surgeon for the 5th Special Forces Group of the US Army. Yet somehow Andrew Beeghly finds time for all sorts of different adventures and challenges, indulging in his love of the wilderness and his passion for achievement. 

Andrew Beeghly is a member of the Wilderness Medical Society and has been for the past seven years. The society brings together people across the country with an active interest in wilderness survival and wilderness medicine, two of Andrew Beeghly’s passionate interests. Andrew Beeghly spends as much time as he can out of doors, enjoying the natural splendor of the world around him and practicing survival skills and wilderness medical techniques. Andrew Beeghly’s love of adventure and the outdoors has seen him do everything from scaling mountains in South America and the Pacific Northwest (he has successfully ascended to Camp 2 of Mount Everest!) to diving beneath the waves as a certified Open Water Diver with the Professional Association of Dive Instructors.

In addition to his mountaineering and diving, Andrew Beeghly also performs at a high level in competitive sports such as triathlons and marathon running. He has even completed a 70.3 mile Ironman race, and finished the World’s Toughest Mudder Competition. Somehow Andrew Beeghly must get thirty hours out of every day.
