I was lucky enough to be born in the greatest country in the world, the U.S.A. ! I grew up with an outdoor minded family and spent my free time working on old cars, fishing and camping. At the age of 18 I joined the Army. I was lucky enough to be plucked out of basic training and selected to attend Airborne School and what was known at the time as The Ranger Indoctrination Program, (R.I.P). I spent my time with 2/75 Ft. Lewis/JBLM Washington. After leaving the military I thought my dream was to be a business man working in banking. I finished my college degree in Business Management and worked for a large bank for a few years. I quickly learned sitting at a desk was not for me.

I spent 16 years in law enforcement from patrol to supervision capacities. Much of my career was spent training and teaching defensive tactics and use of force continuum from the academy level to advanced officer training. All of these ventures in life have given me amazing opportunities but more importantly gave me a deeper respect for the constitution and the 2nd Amendment.

Stay Ready!

Mike.
