About Me

I am a proud military veteran with over eight years of service in the United States Marine Corps and an additional five years in the National Guard. During my time, I served in a variety of roles including heavy diesel mechanic, firearms instructor, recruiter, and fire direction sergeant.

I am also a registered Range Safety Officer with both the NRA and USCCA. Safety, responsibility, and professionalism guide everything I do, whether I’m on the range or in the shop. I’m a devoted husband and father of three wonderful children one of whom has continued the tradition of service as a United States Marine.

About Five-Ton Tactical

I’ve always had a passion for firearms and high-quality gear. I try to support local craftsmanship whenever possible. My business started with a simple need: I had a specific firearm and couldn’t find a holster that fit the way I wanted, and I wasn’t willing to settle or wait. So, I decided to build my own.

That single holster is what launched this entire company. Today, I run a small independent holster shop based in Montana. I build gear for people who know exactly what they want and expect their equipment to work as hard as they do. Every holster I make is handcrafted, shaped, and finished with the same military attention to detail that has defined my entire career. Before anything leaves my shop, it is thoroughly inspected to make sure it meets the standard I would demand for myself.

My mission is simple: create reliable, high-quality holsters made by someone who truly understands the needs of real shooters—not mass-produced gear, but carefully built equipment you can trust.
