Nicholas Reese

Hey! I'm Nick Reese — serial entrepreneur, marketing guy, business strategist, and former TypeScript developer.

These days I'm building USA Arms, a community-focused firearms directory for people trying to find ranges, instructors, FFLs, clubs, and other local resources without bouncing between a dozen half-finished websites.

This site is 20 years old. I rarely write anymore, but people still visit, so it seemed worth updating. Below you'll find old-school content from my "influencer" days — before that word really existed. I keep it here because I still get emails from people it's helped.

These days I solve hard problems with people I like. More about me or check out my projects.
