Who or what is your inspiration in business?

As a veteran and weapons enthusiast, I have spent years purchasing optics and gear that often came with extremely high price tags. That experience inspired me to start a minority veteran-owned business focused on providing reliable optics and equipment at reasonable prices. My goal is to make quality gear accessible to everyday shooters, law enforcement, and fellow service members without sacrificing performance or safety.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering why I started—to create opportunities not only for myself but for others who value quality and affordability in the gear they rely on. My military background taught me discipline, persistence, and mission focus. Those values carry over into business, where each challenge becomes part of the mission to build something meaningful and serve the community.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 directly back into the business to expand inventory, improve product development, and strengthen marketing efforts. A portion would go toward purchasing optics and gear in larger quantities to reduce costs and keep pricing competitive. I would also invest in branding, website improvements, and outreach to the veteran, law enforcement, and shooting communities to grow awareness and build a strong customer base.
