Gun Nuts and GunUp

I’m excited to announce that in addition to my duties here at Gun Nuts Media, LLC that I’ve joined forces with GUNUP.com, a leading online firearms community as their Director of Community Relations. Here is the joint press release with the details:

SEATTLE, WA (January 4th, 2010) GunUp.com, the authoritative community for gun enthusiasts to share, discuss, review and compare guns, has hired Top Shot Competitor and veteran blogger, Caleb Giddings (bio) as their Director of Community Relations. In his new role, Caleb will manage community and industry relations, promote the GunUp brand, as well as continue to grow the GunUp Blog Network and GunUp Pro Staff.

Caleb started shooting competitively in college in the NRA’s Collegiate Pistol program. After college, he branched into the action shooting sports, finding success in IDPA, Steel Challenge, and the Bianchi Cup. Caleb’s success landed him a slot on the premiere season of History Channel’s hit reality show “Top Shot”, where 16 of the country’s best marksmen competed for a $100,000 prize. In 2006, he founded Gun Nuts Media, which has grown to be one of the leading shooting sports blogs and websites.

“From the first time I met Caleb, I knew that there was a lot of great synergy between the great things he has done with Gun Nuts Media and the vision of GunUp”, says Dan Hall, CEO of GunUp.com. “Caleb is a master class shooter with strong ties to the industry and his passion for the community makes him a natural selection to head Community Relations as we grow. We are excited to have him on board. “

GunUp is the kind of company that builds on the vision I have for Gun Culture 2.0,” Caleb Gidding adds. “The landscape of the shooting sports is changing at a fundamental level and I’m looking forward to making GunUp a big part of that.”

Besides promoting the GunUp brand and managing relations with the community, Caleb will also be joining the GunUp Pro Staff and will be contributing to the new GunUp.com Question and Answer section on their website.
