Jamie Wiedeman Named SureFire VP Sales & Marketing

Jamie Wiedeman returns to SureFire, LLC as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Jamie first joined SureFire in October 2004 as a Military Sales Rep, introducing the FA556-212 suppressor to USASOC. In July 2005, Jamie was promoted to Government Liaison supporting the SureFire International and Military Sales Team with technical and tactical expertise. In April 2007 as SureFire grew, Jamie was promoted to Director of Military Sales responsible for all US military, select US Government Law Enforcement Agencies, TLS Contractors, and OEM weapon manufacturers. In March 2010, Jamie became a consultant for SureFire while providing training to military and law enforcement agencies throughout the country.

Jamie served in the U.S. Army from August 1982 - September 2003 in 2/505 PIR, 82nd ABN DIV, 1st Bn. 75th Ranger Regiment, 3rd Bn. 75th Ranger Regiment, and USASOC. His decades of experience and leadership, on all fronts, perfectly position him to carry out SureFire's primary mission of supporting those who go in harm's way by delivering to them the finest illumination products and tactical gear in the world.

George Atchley has also come aboard, as the Vice President of Business Development, to support Jamie in his sales and marketing efforts.
