Owner

I have always had an interest in simplifying and re-engineering products to perform better and more efficiently; my first product was at age 17. In October 2023, I realized the need for a simplified conceal carry plate carrier and have been working on perfecting this system for a year now. Thanks to the team of First Responders and Veterans at Fortified Apparel, encouragement from friends and family, we have now brought an amazing affordable product to You.

Social Media Manager/Sales

With 15 years of experience as a Paramedic, I have dedicated my career to providing critical care and emergency medicine in high-stakes situations. Alongside my professional work, I pursue my passion for bow hunting and competitive shooting. I also train Jiu-Jistu, which strengthens my physical and mental discipline. In addition to my professional and personal interest, I serve in church security, feeling called to contribute to community safety.

Website Manager/Design

I’m a proud veteran who served six years in the Army, including a tour in Iraq. After my military service, I spent several years focused on finding purpose and meaning in my life. It was during this journey that I met my wife, who recognized my potential and encouraged me to explore the world of coding. With her support, I dove into this new passion, leading to the launch of my own company, Danetown Digital, in August 2024, where I specialize in building engaging websites that help businesses thrive online. When I first connected with Matt, I was inspired by his vision for Fortified Apparel and the mission behind it, and I truly believe in providing quality protection and support for our customers. I’m excited to contribute my skills and dedication to this innovative brand.
