Since 1974, my background was servicing large computer systems.   Back then a large computer system cost well over a million dollars, and they were housed in huge data centers.   Major computer manufacturers paid respectable salaries.   Everything was going real well until a guy by the name of Bill Gates came along.   His operating system and the inexpensive personal computer "PC" concept revolutionized the computer industry.   PCs started replacing large computer systems everywhere.   It was just a matter of time before computer prices fell (like a rock) to a mere few hundred bucks.   This drastic change in computer technology gradually reduced my salary to an uncomfortable level.

      As the years slipped by, most computer service companies downsized until they finally went out of business.   In 1995, I started my own computer consulting company "Innovative Technologies".   I began servicing IBM midrange systems and peripherals . . . . only those that were still profitable to repair.   I also helped a few starving national computer companies by servicing their customers in Florida.

      That's when my shooting buddies convinced me to patent some of the unique shooting and reloading gadgets that I've made over the years.   As I started getting more spare time, I perfected the Belted Magnum Collet Resizing Die and got it patented in July, 2002 (Pat #6,412,385).   I took this product from conceptual design to manufacturing and sold them through (5) national distributors.   I currently maintain bio-medical systems for hospitals.   In my spare time (when I'm not shooting) I design new shooting and reloading products.  

      I've been interested in shooting for as long as I can remember.   I've met most of my best friends at the rifle range or while on hunting trips.   If I'm not working, you can bet that I must be reloading or out shooting somewhere.   My main interest in shooting is "informal" long range rifle competition, but I also shoot pistol, shotgun, black powder, and archery.

      It seems that I'm always looking up information for shooters that need to find a particular product, so I decided to expand this website (one of my college projects) to include an Internet Directory for Shooters.   You can find shooting related products quickly and easily in our Links section.

      I've always been actively involved in trying to expand the popularity of the shooting sports.   I believe that we desperately need more people interested in shooting.   This sport depends on large numbers of shooters that will get involved to protect our Second Amendment rights.   Our Constitution will always be under attack by most liberals and outspoken left wing fanatics.   For the most part, the only Americans that will stand up for our Second Amendment are our fellow shooters.   My goal for this website is to promote the shooting sports, motivate new shooters and help them to make the best handloads possible.
