About the Founder: Tanner Hutton
Soldier Firearms was founded by Tanner Hutton, a seasoned professional with a deep-rooted passion for firearms and the outdoors.
Tanner’s love for the outdoors is something he shares with his 13-year-old son, Jacob. Together, they embrace every hunting season with enthusiasm, hunting anything that’s in season. They also enjoy fishing and, of course, shooting. Tanner’s connection to firearms began at a young age and has been a driving force throughout his life.
After years of gunsmithing on the side for friends and family, often without pay, Tanner decided to take his passion to the next level. This dedication and drive led to the creation of Soldier Firearms. Tanner’s commitment to quality and his lifelong experience with firearms have shaped Soldier Firearms into a business that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Key Personnel: Jacob Hutton
Jacob Hutton, the founder Tanner Hutton’s 13-year-old son, is an integral part of the Soldier Firearms team. When he’s not out hunting or fishing, you might find him relaxing on the couch playing video games. However, don’t let that fool you—Jacob has a strong work ethic and a genuine passion for the firearms industry.
Jacob is often seen at the sandblast cabinet, eagerly working on tasks and contributing to the team’s efforts. His enthusiasm for learning and involvement in various projects are evident, as he continuously gains hands-on experience with Cerakote jobs. With his dedication and growing skills, Jacob is on track to make a significant impact in the industry, following in his father’s footsteps and contributing to the high standards that define Soldier Firearms.
