Meet the Maker
My name is Steven Shell, I am a retired fire fighter and fire marshal from a city in Northeast Tennessee. I have lived here in the beautiful mountains of Northeast Tennessee all my life. As a fire marshal I was a police officer also where I graduated from the police academy at Walter State Community College. I later went on to complete my degree in Criminal Justice. Working in law enforcement I became interested in fire arms and holsters. I started crafting my own holsters about a year ago; after friends and work associates saw my holsters they wanted me to make holsters for them. I love working with my hands designing and creating projects that I can be proud to put my makers mark on.
