The Firearms Concierge, known for their firearms related tours in the Sonoran Desert, provided some range safety.

Zev Nadler – owner operator of BestDronage Aerial and Ground Videography.

Zev Nadler was a Senior Manager with a large IT consulting firm before he semi-retired to Scottsdale in 1999. A year later he started an IT Consulting firm in Scottsdale that he sold in 2006.

Deciding that retirement didn’t suit him, he started Desert Wolf Tours as a means to be outdoors and behind off-road vehicles and firearms.  Seeking a cutting-edge way to introduce people to an outdoor experience, Zev introduced Sonoran Desert Tours while Self-Piloting in a convoy.

Also, as The Firearms Concierge, Zev raised the bar from the other tour operators’ .22 wheel guns pointed at cans, by bringing AR15s and Glock 17s to over 9,000 tourists since 2007.

Deb DeSpain – Mom, Registered Nurse, 3-Gun Competitor, NRA Certified Instructor, Gun Girl Gladiator, and part of the 2016 DC Project.

Robyn Sandoval – Manager of A Girl And A Gun (AG&AG), came into the Firearms Industry by an unusual path.  Robyn is a converted anti-gunner, who nervously attended Julianna Crowder’s third Girl’s Night Out in March 2011. Six months later, she joined the AG & AG leadership team and built the infrastructure and operating procedures from the ground up to enable the organization’s rapid growth (650% in 26 months). Robyn recently shared her journey and her story resonated so deeply in those who read it, on both sides of the Gun Debate, that her blog article went viral on social media — being viewed more than 200,000 times in only 3 days.

Robyn Sandoval is an unlikely gun owner. She was raised in a large city, and always assumed that first responders were only a phone call away and local grocery stores would have needed supplies on hand. After 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, she began to casually store items in case of an economic or environmental disaster in her community. One day her husband asked, “If something bad happens and we have to shelter in place, how are we going to stop someone from breaking in and taking our stuff?”

For many years Robyn struggled with the decision to bring a firearm into the home with three children. In 2010, she finally conceded to the purchase of one gun to be used only in an emergency situation. She wanted to learn how to use her new gun, so she nervously attended AG&AG’s Girl’s Night Out.
