Wheeler joined the Navy in 1991 and served as a firefighter on the USS John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier during the Gulf War. He was honorably discharged in 1993, but re-enlisted after the attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

Wheeler was critically injured during a training exercise at Fort Polk. He jumped out of a Black Hawk at 1,500 feet and his parachute malfunctioned at 250 feet. He suffered damage to both his legs and his spine. His injuries resulted in him having to have bilateral above-knee amputations.
