When I think about bolt action 22s my mind drifts towards an idealized image of mid-century American shooting sports. Boy Scouts earning their rifle shooting merit badge, squirrel hunting in the freshly fallen snow, or a boy receiving his first rifle as a Christmas gift.
Garrett has a wide variety of skills and interests. His profession as an engineer in the steel industry aligns with his active approach to hobbies. Whether going to the gym, shooting, hunting, riding his motorcycle, or just tinkering in the shop, Garrett always strives to be his best.
Experience:
Mechanical Engineer – Supervises a small group of reliability professionals who deliver practical solutions and keep the plant running.
Practical Shooting – Former member of Oklahoma State’s Practical Shooting Team, and continues to hold himself to a high standard in defensive shooting.
Adventurer – Hiking, moto camping, backpacking, hunting, shooting. Life is too short to take it easy. Garrett is always looking for the next opportunity to get outdoors.
