    Tori Branum, Marine Corps. Veteran

    A proud Georgian (Go Dawgs!), who was raised in Oklahoma. Tori’s journey began when she moved to Albany, Georgia during high school, and eventually led her to joining the Marine Corps. She traveled to various military bases including Parris Island, South Carolina, Twenty Nine Palms, California, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Cherry Point, North Carolina, and finally Okinawa, Japan. It was in Okinawa where she completed her second enlistment as a marksmanship instructor, training Marines and ensuring their weapons were ready for combat before they headed out of the range.

    Remaining in the middle Georgia area, she established a business called Middle Georgia Female Firearms Trainings. With a BA in Psychology from American Military University. She was honored with the "Hero Among Us" award in Albany, Georgia, for both the month and year in the WALB viewing area, where she had the privilege of training thousands of women. Over the years, she successfully trained over 10,000 women in the middle Georgia area.

    Prior to venturing into the firearms industry, I worked as a behavioral therapist in community mental health and as an apex therapist in the Pulaski County schools. Engaging with my community and lending a helping hand is a passion of mine. I have made multiple trips to the border to witness firsthand the issues affecting our nation. I have dedicated time to understanding the concerns of the people and believe that as a God-fearing, Christian, and patriotic woman, America requires individuals who are honest, willing to listen, have integrity, and cannot be swayed by monetary influence.
