Lenny moved from his birth town of London, England to Western Alberta in 1980, where he was able to satisfy his love of the outdoors.   With plenty of fishing and hunting, he continued his favorite past times when he made his move to Montana. But he enjoys high-energy activities as well, such as the various martial arts that he studied along the way like Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, Judo and Kickboxing.  Even more thrilling, he professionally raced 750 and Unlimited Superbikes and he competed in motorcycle cross-country and ice racing as well.

As intense as his recreational activities may be, the formal training he received is just as impressive.  After obtaining his engineering degree, he held several demanding positions as a design engineer.  He worked with each and everyone of the Japanese and American factory road racing teams and manufacturers, specializing in carburation, fuel injection and engine improvements.   He was also a design engineer in the field of high performance diesel injection systems.

Lenny always had a fondness for firearms since he first began to hunt, but as his interest developed, he decided to pursue formal training in numerous weapon systems.  He mastered the handgun courses including Glock, 1911, SIG and Beretta and continued his training with his focus on rifles, specifically the AR-15/M16, AK-47, M1a/M14, M40 and M25.  The Remington, Benelli and Mossburg shotguns were his next area of concentration, as well as the Sub gun Uzi and MP5.

But his education did not stop there; he broadened his knowledge base with tactical training including Advanced Tactics, Team Tactics, CQB, Anti-terrorism, Sniper and Counter Sniper, as well as Camouflage and Concealment and Urban and Suburban Hide Construction.  This experience enabled him to become an instructor in handgun, sub gun, shotgun and rifle and to ultimately progress to Handgun Combat Master.

He continuously pursues courses to complement his already strong background and has completed training in Desert/Wilderness Survival and Navigation as well Defensive and Offensive Driving.  He holds a Class A driver’s license with all endorsements including Hazmat and Tanker.  Lenny’s been known to say, “if it’s drivable, I can drive it:  two, four, or eighteen wheels”.

In 1990, he applied his vast experience in engineering with his weapon’s training background to begin the perfect career where he knew he would excel:  engineering and constructing firearms.  He began building 1911’s, pistols, AR-15’s and accurizing bolt-action rifles.  After buying many long-range rifles, he found that most did not meet his expectations.  That’s when he founded his company, Venom Tactical, and focused solely on sniper rifles with the goal of designing and building the ultimate sniper rifle:  dependable, accurate, and reliable.  ATAC TV™ feel that he’s accomplished this task.
