Writer Profile: Tamara Keel
For over fifteen years Tamara Keel toiled in the salt mines of the gun retail business, slinging guns across the glass for a living in every position from a part-time counter monkey at a hole-in-the-wall neighborhood shop to working as retail sales manager for a busy Class 3 SOT manufacturer with an indoor range. Then she figured out that writing about guns may not pay as well as selling them, but the hours are a lot better. She’s a gun school junkie, with hundreds of hours of formal firearms training, and has been known to shoot various action pistol games if someone else is driving to the range.
Tamara’s words can be found in numerous web and print media outlets, including Shooting Illustrated, S.W.A.T. Magazine, Concealed Carry Magazine, and her own long-running personal blog, View from the Porch.
