I have been in the firearms industry for over a decade with a broad experience of skills gained over this time. I went to college for Gunsmithing where I learned the necessary skills to carryout this trade with excellent craftsmanship.
After graduating, I went to work building my skillset at a gunsmith shop in Virginia where I specialized in building custom rifles and handguns. I then sought to expand my knowledge further and gained employment with Remington Arms Co.

There I worked as a service representative and I also became an Armorer for all the products we offered, which helped in assisting customers with firearm related issues. 

Once again I found myself striving for more, and I began searching for a new avenue within the industry. This is where I found employment with Leupold & Stevens as a sales representative in their Custom Shop. The company relocated me from North Carolina to Oregon. While employed I learned how scopes work, how to build them, and how to use them effectively at long distances. Unfortunately, the company had a huge round of layoffs and my job was eliminated, and they closed the custom shop shortly after. 

I went on to work for Snake Eater Tactical, a tactical gear manufacturer. Here I was taught an entirely new skill, I became a tailor using a sewing machine. We manufactured custom belts, plate carriers for body armor, slings, and other miscellaneous items.

After some time I left to manage a retail gun store through the "plandemic."  After seeing how many new firearm owners there were, I decided to become a NRA Certified Firearms Instructor. Since then I have taught more than 1000 students ranging from first time shooters to preparing people for competition. 

My goal is to provide you with the knowledge and confidence you need to become proficient with any firearm platform.
