Allen Forkner

GunBroker Publisher

Allen Forkner has been fascinated by firearms and their usage since he sat on the living room playing with his G.I. Joes. After a decade as a newspaper journalist and time spent as a political communications director, he entered the firearms industry where he has spent more than 15 years telling the stories of the firearms, ammunition and optics as well as the brands that manufacture them. Currently, he is the publisher of the GunBroker editorial department. He stays active in the shooting sports as a competitive handgun and multigun competitor and never passes the chance to take a shooting class.
