Bryan’s interest in firearms began as a child. Decades later he remains grateful that his father Dave Mumford introduced him to shooting as a child, driving home the importance of firearm safety. By his teenage years Bryan became involved in the world of competitive shooting where he studied gunsmithing in his free time and was unknowingly honing his skill sets into what would later become his full-time career. In 2011, looking to turn his passion into his first company, Bryan founded PDX Arsenal LLC. at the ripe age of 21 years old. Even though he did not have anyone to help him break into the firearm industry he never let that deter him and has remained steadfast in his professional goals ever since. Bryan began his career as a handgun instructor on the range, and he has always carried forth a business mindset that his father taught him, and one that has served him well, which is placing importance on people before profit. While he was scaling his brand, Bryan not only worked seven days a week for years on end –growing PDX Arsenal on nights and weekends– but at the same time he became multi-faceted in his industry knowledge by helping to run the assembly departments for some of the largest firearm/accessory manufacturers in the world like Crimson Trace Corp, Sig Sauer Electro-Optics, as well as Smith & Wesson. Bryan came to the realization that his true passion is helping other people and was able to self-identify that his largest God-given talent lies in his ability to engage with others in his community on a deeper level, setting him apart from most other instructors. To this day Bryan continues to build strong relationships with every one of his students by teaching his brand’s now locally famous multi-state concealed carry class which has helped certify thousands of Oregon residents to legally carry their guns in 38 states across the country. Bryan passionately works with students from every walk of life to assist them in growing his students’ confidence through the safe handling/operating of firearms while at the same time placing equal importance in helping each individual student reach their unique and personal goals.
Since founding PDX Arsenal LLC, Bryan has grown the PDX Arsenal brand name into one that nearly all his students feel confident in recommending to their friends and families, which is where most of PDX Arsenal’s business comes from, referrals. PDX Arsenal is now recognized as one of Portland’s premier concealed handgun licensing/firearm training companies, and Bryan humbly continues to give all of the credit to God, his family, and to every one of his students who have shown/continue to show him a remarkable level of support along the way.
