Nick Berg is an American-Iranian author whose life embodies resilience, transformation, and the search for identity. Born in Tehran to an Iranian mother and an American father, he grew up at the crossroads of two cultures—shaped by the rich traditions of Iran and the political unrest that defined the region. His formative years were marked by conflict, survival, and an unrelenting pursuit of purpose, themes that resonate powerfully in his debut novel, Shadows of Tehran.

Beyond his writing, Berg’s life has been defined by extraordinary experiences. After leaving Iran, he served in U.S. special operations, immersing himself in one of the world’s most demanding military environments. His time in service not only tested his limits but also deepened his understanding of loyalty, sacrifice, and the human will to endure. These experiences infuse his storytelling with raw authenticity, offering readers a gripping exploration of survival, identity, and redemption.

Following an injury, Berg transitioned from military life to the tech industry, where he built a successful career as an executive. Yet, his passion for storytelling never faded. Today, he dedicates his time to writing, public speaking, and coaching, focusing on topics such as cultural identity, military history, and resilience.

An active participant in veteran initiatives, Berg shares his journey with audiences who connect with his story of perseverance and adaptation. His work serves as both a bridge between cultures and an inspiration for those seeking to overcome their own battles—proving that even in the face of adversity, a new path can always be forged.
