I've been shooting for almost two decades, since my early teens, and have been fascinated with firearms history and engineering ever since. Unapologetic 1911, CZ-75, and AKM fan, I love metal frames, DA/SA, gas piston systems, and bolt actions. Excited about advancements in modern 3D printing and design in the firearms world.

Cap & Ball for me is an opportunity to bring that experience to help gun stores, gun smiths, and firearms instructors deal with the difficult and daunting task of untangling digital marketing in this new and rapidly changing landscape.
