Meet Josh Logan | Co-Founder | Director of Training

We had the good fortune of connecting with Josh Logan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Josh, what inspires you?
I am inspired by helping others. As a retired police officer and veteran of the United States Air Force, I have spent a lifetime of service to this country, my community, and others. Now as Co-Founder | Director of Training, I am blessed to lead a team of industry-leading instructors and consultants in helping our communities in preparedness. Our clients have ranged from John Q. Public, mothers, fathers, grandparents, corporations, churches, business executives, to police officers, SWAT teams, and military personnel from across the world. We have had the amazing opportunity to train people ranging from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, Germany, Belgium, Canada, and across the United States.

I have had many mentors in my life and career that I can attribute my passion and purpose to. As I always say, I am here because I have stood on the shoulders of giants.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Fountain Hills – This is our home! Paradise! I would show them what Fountain Hills is all about and how beautiful and wonderful our small town over the McDowell Mountains from bustling Scottsdale truly is!

Food – Karen & I are FOODIES! – Steakhouses like Bourbon & Bones (Bone Marrow) or Durant’s – Secret spots like like Dick’s Hideaway.

Whiskey – We love our whiskey, particularly bourbon. ANY bourbon bar that has Buffalo Trace as their well and serve any cocktail with craft ice. Particularly a good Old Fashioned!

Catch a country concert – Karen & I are huge country fans and go to Nashville regularly. So if there is a country concert in town, we are probably there. Especially when the likes of Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, or Riley Green comes to town.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First and foremost, I must thank my fellow Co-Founder, CEO, retired police officer, and wife, Karen Logan for her continued and unwavering support in my dreams of making Guardian what it is today and what it will continue to be. Karen was instrumental in starting this company and believing my crazy dream of being an entrepreneur and leaving the security of a steady paycheck of working in law enforcement.

Next, I must thank those who have come before me in the firearms instruction business and those who have taken the time, the effort, and passion to mentor me through my career. Bill Campbell, owner of Dark Knight Training & Consulting, and retired police officer has been fundamental to my foundation of professionalism and skill.

Brian Kovacs has been critical to my success as a businessman and growth: a kick in the pants or a pat on the back as well as opening doors at times I never thought would be possible nor deserving.
