Gary Ramey, GM/COO of Heizer Defense noted “We are thrilled to have Omar rejoin Heizer Defense and want to thank him for his service to our country. He is a talented young man and a key member of the Heizer Defense Team. Omar’s success includes not only training US and Afghan soldiers, but a Bachelor’s degree from University of Central Florida, a Lean Six Sigma Belt, and he is also working on his Master’s Degree at Washington University. I enjoy working with him and invite other member’s of our industry to stop by and meet him at Shows and events”.
Omar Fuentes commented, “I am extremely excited to be back at it. Words cannot explain the gratitude that I have for the support received from the Heizers and the rest of the Heizer Defense team. It is a privilege to be part of the PS1 Pocket Shotgun Pistol launch”.
