I'm one of the founding partners of Ultimate Defense Technologies, where I’m leading the charge on innovation in the firearms and personal defense space. But my entrepreneurial journey didn’t start there—I bring over 30 years of innovation and business-building experience to the table. Before starting Ultimate Defense, I founded and successfully grew four other companies.

Before I got into the business world, I served as a medic in the U.S. Army and later became a commissioned Army Officer. That military background, combined with degrees in marketing, accounting, and an MBA, has given me a unique edge when it comes to leadership, strategy, and problem-solving. I've always had a knack for identifying complex challenges and developing solutions faster than most.

Firearms and gun safety have been a part of my life since I was a kid, and that early exposure shaped how I approach responsible gun ownership. It also played a big role in my design contributions to the Spartan Guardian—a product that’s redefining what safety and performance look like in personal defense.

At my core, I’m passionate about quality, innovation and customer service. That is why we made the decision that the Spartan Guardian had to be made in the USA. The past three and a half years working on the Spartan Guardian have been some of the most gratifying of my life. I’m always looking for better, smarter, safer ways to serve people.
