I’m a former police officer from North St. Louis County, Missouri—just outside Ferguson. My career took a turn in 1997 when I joined my father’s advertising and marketing company. I started as a media buyer and later transformed the business into a full-service advertising agency.

That agency became the foundation for several ventures, including Anchor Mobile Marketing, a software company that licenses mobile marketing solutions to other agencies, and Danger Close Media Group, a web design and digital marketing firm serving firearms industry. In 2005, I took over Anchor Communications, Inc., continuing our legacy in advertising and marketing.

Over the years, I became an expert in both traditional broadcast media and digital inbound marketing. Long before it had a name, we were helping businesses attract customers through valuable, engaging content. When HubSpot popularized the term “inbound marketing” in 2010, we were already ahead of the curve.

About 10 years ago, my life changed when I started Tactical Sh*t as a Facebook page that rapidly grew into an online community of over 1M “like minded” patriots and subsequently a multi million dollar Inc. 500 brand serving them.  Later I founded Liberal Tears Gun Oil and many other notable industry products.

Over the years it has become my passion and my mission to arm Americans to protect their families, their communities and their God given rights.

Sincer then, I earned the nickname “Local Warlord” because people in my community always said, “If things go south, I’m heading to his place.”

If you are a Local Warlord in your community,  I welcome you to my arsenal.
