Founder & Owner
Our Team
Dennis is the founder of Shoot It LLC and a lifelong firearms enthusiast whose passion for collecting began at an early age.
At 14, he received his first firearm, a Browning A5, which sparked an enduring appreciation for craftsmanship, performance, and the stories behind exceptional pieces.
A fourth-generation Arizonan, Dennis comes from a family deeply rooted in the region, with his sons and grandchildren continuing that legacy. He built and led a multi-state family roofing business for decades, growing it from a small operation into a $100 million enterprise.
Retired today, the timeless principles of honesty, trust, value, reputation and building long term partnerships still guide his leadership at Shoot It LLC.
Dennis’s approach to collecting is rooted in a deep respect for condition, rarity, and artistry.
Drawn to finely crafted and historically significant firearms, he has developed a reputation for seeking out pieces that represent the highest levels of quality and originality. often forming a lasting personal connection to the items he acquires.
Shoot It LLC was born from that mindset. What began as a private collection evolved into a carefully curated environment designed to share these pieces with others who value them the same way.
For Dennis, the goal was never simply to create another gun store, but to build an experience; one where collectors can build a community to engage with firearms and other collectibles not just as things, but as enduring pieces of history.
