MATTHEW CHALIFOUX – SALES

Matthew ChalifouxMatt grew up in a hunting family and was introduced to firearms at a young age. He began his shooting hobby using BB guns, like most children do, and progressed into firearms as time went on. Growing up, he had access to lots of land where he was able to set up his own rifle and pistol ranges, and that’s where he spent most of his time.

Matt has numerous years of instructor experience going back to his early teens as a martial arts instructor, which he continued through college. After college, he worked full time for the U.S. Postal Service as a Letter Carrier and Acting Supervisor before enlisting as an Infantryman in the Massachusetts Army National Guard. Shortly after he graduated Basic Training his unit was activated for a deployment to Iraq where he was assigned as a machine gunner for the security of convoy operations and Protective Service Detail for the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq and his aides. During this time, he received extensive training in protective services from agencies such as Blackwater and the State Department. Shortly after his return from Iraq, his unit was again activated for a deployment to Afghanistan, where he was an Infantry Team Leader providing security for Provincial Reconstruction Teams. An unfortunate injury sent him back home, where he was eventually retired from service and awarded the Purple Heart.

Matt joined Tombstone Trading Company as a team member in early 2017 and expressed interest in becoming an NRA instructor, a goal he achieved in October of 2017.
