Joel
The reasons I started this business are simple. I like guns. I love to target shoot and hunt. I love the hunt and research that goes into picking out a new firearm and the immediate high you get after finally making the purchase. I do all of this just to start the search over again. I am extremely proud of all we have accomplished with Uncoiled. I cannot imagine what will become of this business in the next few years.
Kenny
I remember walking into an office building in Westland to do a rifle transfer. I could not believe that this little store had one of the best selections of guns I had ever seen. I had some extra time so I helped Joel put firearms back in their cases from a gun show he had attended that weekend. We struck up a friendship and I knew that I wanted to be involved in the business. Joel hired me a short time later and I am now a partner in the coolest gun store in Michigan.
Anthony
AKA “New Kid”
I got into firearms and shooting with my dad when I was very young and have been involved ever since. I came to Uncoiled as a customer and caught Big Erns attention. He saw my enthusiasm for the industry and introduced me to Joel and Kenny. I am now the stores General Manager. I’m a great person to come to for problem solving firearms issues and questions regarding Staccato 2011’s. I will help find the answer to any issue you have.
Bruce
I started handling firearms when I was younger while shooting with my father and relatives. My love for firearms really took off when I got my first rifle. It began as a hobby that turned into a career in the firearms industry here at Uncoiled. I met the crew of Uncoiled as a customer in April of 2022. Joel appreciated my enthusiasm and attitude so he approached me with a job opportunity. I quickly accepted. I’m a good guy to talk to if you’re shopping for your first handgun or even looking to add another to the collection.
Shane
I started shooting a 22 rifle with my dad as a kid. I enjoy the mechanical and precision aspects of firearms. In my free time, I participate in self-defense with firearms classes, AR15 building, and bench shooting bolt rifles and semi-auto. I’m a great person to talk to about AR, pistol, bolt action (mostly for practical/or defensive use). I am a certified CPL instructor and a manager for Uncoiled. I met Joel as a customer and started up a friendship. I was hired shortly after and have worked my way up to a manager position.
Len
I was introduced to firearms at an early age. I received my first NRA certified instructor rating in 1994. I have continued my training as well as becoming a certified Sig Sauer instructor. I have a passion for all the shooting sports but really enjoy the precision rifle sports, like PRS, Benchrest and F class. The ability to put multiple rounds through the same hole at long distances fascinates me. I have been the Instructor at Uncoiled since they opened the range. I love working with new shooters. Really enjoy watching their progress. We offer classes for every skill level. From beginner to advanced shooter, we have a class for you. Our class reviews speak for themselves. Looking forward to seeing you in class.
Nick
My first introduction to shooting was firing a .22 out of the back of my grandpa’s garage. After a brief stint in the Air Force I found my way into this industry. Firearms to me are more of an obsession than a hobby! I spend my free time researching firearm history, design and development. If the military uses or used it, I can tell you where, when, why, and how. After briefly working at another store in the industry, a mutual friend introduced me to Joel and Kenny. I quickly made the move to Uncoiled and have worked my way up to a management position and handle online sales. I also work side by side with Joel on Social Media.
Dave
Growing up, I was always a kid that tinkered. When I became an engineer, my toys just got more expensive and my love of firearms really grew from there. I have always liked the odd firearms from Steyr AUG to Kriss Vectors and anything in between. Every gun deserves some love. I started at Uncoiled as a customer and enjoyed hanging out with the guys. I am here to help most Saturdays and any other day I have off from my regular job.
Chris
I grew up hunting and shooting and found a passion for the sport in Boy Scouts. I also loved target shooting up north with my dad on our leased property. As I got older, I continually try to learn as much as I can, and regularly take defensive and firearms classes to improve my knowledge. I met Joel while he was on my UPS route. Joel and I would always talk about the sporting industry when I dropped packages off at his house. We struck up a friendship and as the business grew, I wanted to help out as much as I could. I will be more than happy to chat with you about all things defensive carry, AR15, and hunting to help you find what will work best for you.
Ernie
I started shooting with my Father when I was 5 years old. I have had a love of firearms and everything related since then. When I met Joel I was working for a hazardous waste disposal company. One day while making a firearm purchase Joel told me he could save my life. He said the pay would suck but promised we would have fun and that I wouldn’t die. He invited me on a hunt in South Dakota. We share a weird sense of humor and bonded traveling across the country. I quit my dangerous job and have been with Uncoiled since that day.
