To all the veterans on our team and beyond, thank you for your service! 🇺🇸

Build the foundation.
Curtis shares the experiences and influences that helped shape his journey, from his time serving in the Army to the firearms and the inspiration he found in his grandfather’s guns.
From our new facility to our manufacturing processes and commitment to quality, Curtis talks about what it means to build a strong foundation from the ground up—and why the people behind the products matter just as much as the products themselves.
Get to know Curtis, hear his story, and take a look inside the team working to define the next chapter of Watchtower Defense.
