Remington Arms Co.

I officially started my new job at Remington Arms Co. this week. My new job title is Brand Manager - Law Enforcement/Tactical Firearms. This encompasses shotguns, sniper rifles and assualt rifles intended for LE or tactical consumers.

I call it a job, but Kimberly thinks it is laughable that I get paid to do this type of stuff. To some extent I feel the same way. For instance, my first business trip in mid-June is a three day live fire orientation on the new military platform weapons that the company is developing. That hardly sounds like I'm laboring. Of course I joke, because there is a tremendous amount of marketing and brand strategy that is required in the Law Enforcement market for Remington to be successful, and this is a newly created position with no road-map to follow. So, in truth, this may be the most challenging role I have ever served in.

I won't bring a lot of specifics about my work to this blog, only because I don't know if the interest level is there. What is most important for me to share is that I am tremendously grateful for God's blessing and timing, I am thankful for a job that combines what I'm good at with what I'm passionate for, and I can already see that I will fit in nicely and can flourish here. -- RTS
