Matt founded the PLD in August 2021 as an outlet for his hobby of filming and editing. After a handful of successful firearm-related videos, he decided to permanently combine his passions for firearms and American Freedom with his new pastime to evolve the channel into what it is today.

When Matt isn’t filming, editing, and coordinating with the team, Matt enjoys living the American dream with his wife (a veritable living saint!) and dog, Nova. Of course, he still tries to game, but is well aware that he is past his prime.

The first ‘new’ addition to the PLD production team, Aaron is a Nebraska native (GO BIG RED!) and is passionate about tactics and training. Aaron hosts PLD’s Friday night Twitch streams (PLD After Hours) and assisted with the development of PLD’s very first website that you see here now.

Though not always in front of the camera, Aaron assists with several behind the scenes channel-related functions. Aaron is also co-host to the “semi-monthly” Bullet Points podcast series on the channel.

Logan, another Iowa native, is a long-time friend of Matt and a more recent addition to the PLD production team. Logan isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty and has brought several unique firearms to the table for new and intriguing reviews on the channel.

Logan is an avid gearhead, grease monkey, and gamer. An integral member of the PLD team, you can find him in many of our Friday night Twitch Streams!

Steve is our favorite lab coat-wearing team member who often appears in many “Science” related videos on the PLD channel. Another long-time friend of Matt’s and the oldest member of the PLD production team, you can always count on Steve to come up with any number of childish jokes and retorts.

Steve often joins the channel’s Friday night Twitch streams and loves spending time with his kids playing games and including them in time spent at Llama Ranch or out hunting.
