Co-Founder Mark also grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania. He learned the entrepreneurial way from his grandpa who owned a local business as well as apartments. As a child, as young as 10, Mark would help remodel apartments during tenant turnovers and help at his grandpa’s business during summers. From a young age Mark learned how to work hard, and to not rent to crackheads.

Mark came from a family with multi-generational military service, and began shooting with his dad as a hobby many years ago. Now as an outdoor/gun/emergency-preparedness enthusiast, he’s excited to bring great deals and the best service to all Freedom Gorilla customers.
