Mike Noell is a former US Navy Seal who founded the company Blackhawk!

Back in 1991, during the first Gulf War, the gears soldiers used were slowly getting outdated.

Mike Noell, himself faced a gear malfunction when he was on a mission to provide the Kurdish people with humanitarian relief in Turkey. However, the former Navy Seal luckily avoided the catastrophe.

At that moment, Noell thought of creating safe tactical gears that wouldn’t fail in a live situation.

Thus, he created Blackhawk, a small business that specialized in sewing together tactical equipment, and quickly became a multi-million dollar international company.

They supplied a variety of equipment from plate carriers to Halligan tools and sold it to special operators, police SWAT teams to weekend warriors.

In 2010, Noell sold his company Blackhawk! to ATK for an undisclosed sum. Following the success of his previous company, he started a new company ‘Sentry’ which specializes in high-end tactical products.

The former US Navy Seal built a brand that was the epitome in tactical gear for over a decade.

He was an experienced competitive swimmer, sailor, and adding it with his Navy Seal experience, helped him produce quality products that ensured safety and reliability.
