Early life

Vescovo grew up in Dallas, Texas, where he graduated from St. Mark's School of Texas. He earned a bachelor's degree in Economics and Political Science from Stanford University, a master's degree in Defense and Arms Control Studies (Political Science) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an MBA from Harvard Business School where he was a Baker scholar.[2]

Military career

In 2013, he retired from the United States Navy Reserve as a Commander (O-5), having served over twenty years as an operational intelligence officer in a variety of roles all over the world, including serving tours on the USS Nimitz, USS Blue Ridge, and as an intelligence officer instructor at the Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (aka "Strike University").

Five Deeps Expedition

In December 2018, he became the first person to reach the deepest point of the Atlantic Ocean, piloting a reported US$50 million submarine system - including its support ship the DSSV Pressure Drop and its three robotic landers - 8,375 meters below the ocean surface to the base of the Puerto Rico Trench.[1] On February 3, 2019, he became the first person to reach the bottom of the Southern Ocean, in the southern portion of the South Sandwich Trench.[3] As of March 2019, he was continuing to lead the Five Deeps Expedition, whose objective is to thoroughly map and visit the bottom of all five of the world's oceans by the end of September 2019.[4]

He has also completed the Explorer's Grand Slam, which requires climbing the Seven Summits as well as skiing at least 100 kilometers to the North and South poles.[5] He is certified as a multi-engine jet- and helicopter pilot, as well as a submarine test pilot.[6][7]
