While in law school, Ryan worked as the manager of Federal government relations for the firearms industry’s trade association, the National Shooting Sports Foundation in Newtown, CT.

Ryan then served as an attorney and as a Vice President over compliance and security for the largest firearms manufacturer in the country, Remington Outdoor Company (formerly Freedom Group) which is made up of many industry brands such as Remington, Bushmaster, DPMS, AAC, Dakota, Barnes, and many more.

Ryan traveled nearly non-stop which was taxing his time with his family which now included two small children. Knowing his priorities, Ryan moved with his family to Huntsville, AL to help set up a new facility as part of his exit.

Ryan then started teaching Constitutional Law courses at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). Although he currently lives in Franklin, TN, he still commutes down to Huntsville to teach because he loves teaching so much.

While teaching at UAH, Ryan wrote a book on long-range shooting from which he donates 25% of the proceeds to military charities. That book far exceeded Ryan’s expectations – it has been the #1 Bestseller on Amazon in its category for over two years and has sold more than 40,000 copies to date.

Because of his success writing and producing other media, Ryan has all but stopped practicing law. This has allowed him to start and run a few different companies including one that focuses on organizational safety.

Tips, Tactics, and Tools for a Safer Tomorrow was born out of several conversations between Brink Fidler and Tom Herring that always revolved around how they focus on properly educating their clients in order to maximize their effectiveness and customer service.

Both companies strive to meet the same end goal and that is to increase the safety and security posture of their clients.

Brink’s company, Defend Systems, specializes in physical security consulting and active shooter mitigation training, while Tom’s company, Herring Technology, focuses on being the best security technology integrator in the industry that can provide a one stop shop for any client’s technology needs.

The focus of this podcast is to educate and empower people. We discuss everything related to safety and security be it at home, work, church, or the mall. We take an in depth look at security technology, ease of use, reliability, and DIY products for homeowners.
