Precise, uncompromising, speaks like a subject matter expert addressing peers.
As a former competitive shooter turned professional firearms consultant, I've spent the last decade specializing in precision rifle systems and modern sporting platforms. My career began with six years as lead armorer for the Rocky Mountain Tactical team, where I maintained and optimized their entire competition arsenal. I now focus on evaluating commercial firearms for reliability, accuracy, and practical application in both sporting and defensive contexts.
