As a heavily-invested historian and firearms expert with a focus on American firearms from the early 19th to early 20th century, I unite academic research, historical genealogy, and passionate collecting. I hold a history degree and defended a thesis focused on Smith and Wesson’s success as America’s first modern firearms enterprise. I provide various services including sales consulting, public speaking, expert witness testimony, and firearm-specific research. My goal is to discover beneficial information that gives insight, value and a greater overall understanding of a firearm.
