I'm on the road, and like Ken, I don't like the sound of my own horn, so I'll keep it short.
1993 was hired by Pete Dickey as "Firearms Specialist" on NRA Technical Staff. They taught me the ropes and what were good references and what were not. Made Assistant Technical Editor in 1994 after Dickey retired, and Associate a few years after that when Bob Hunnicutt left. Was named NRA's first "Shooting Editor" in 2001.
Left NRA in 2003 to work for SCI (not as a writer). Kept my pen in the well as a field editor for Shooting Times until asked to be the publisher of same this past Feb.
You can Google my name with "Shooting Times," "American Rifleman," or "Shooting Illustrated" to see some past articles. More details are in the archives here somewhere.
