About Us

Since I was young, I have had an affinity for mechanical things. I would take my toys apart just to see how they worked. Thankfully, I developed a knack for getting them back together too. I later turned to cars in the same way. I began building and modifying whatever I could lay my hands on and afford. In 2002 I joined the United States Airforce and served as an F-15 Crew Chief. Although I was told I couldn't modify those, I continued to learn and further my mechanical prowess. During that time, I became fascinated by firearms. And so, the story continued. I couldn't leave anything alone. I learned trigger work, action enhancements, repairs, finishes and more. I made many mistakes in my early years, but those experiences made me better. In 2010 I became a Law Enforcment Officer. I Have since attended numerous firearms courses, both technical and practical.  Many considered me to be the go-to guy for anything firearm related. In 2023 I attended and graduated Magna Cum Laude at the Sonoran Desert Institute of Firearms Technology. In 2024, I started ELEMENT 29 GUNSMITHING out of Deland Florida as a way to provide my community with a trustworthy and experienced gun worker. My top priority is providing top notch customer service and a product that even the most demanding Conosur can be proud of. Thanks for your interest and I hope to serve you soon.
