Arsenal Vault wasn't designed in a boardroom. It was built by someone who understands what it means to own, maintain, and protect a collection.
I grew up in rural Ohio, where weekends meant family time at the range. Target practice wasn't just a hobby. It was how we spent time together. My dad put my first rifle in my hands when I was young: a Ruger 10/22. That little rifle was the start of a lifelong appreciation for firearms.
I would have had that 10/22 to this day. But it was part of my dad's collection that was stolen.
When my dad's collection was stolen, I learned firsthand how valuable proper documentation is. Trying to provide accurate information to the authorities and insurance companies without detailed records was a nightmare. Serial numbers, purchase dates, photos, values. All the things you don't think about until you need them.
Arsenal Vault started as a side project. It's the system I wished I'd had. Spreadsheets work, but they have limits. Once your collection grows, tracking firearms is just the beginning. You've got accessories, parts, ammunition, maintenance records. It adds up fast.
I remember cold winter days helping reload ammunition with my dad. When I started building Arsenal Vault, I knew I wanted to include reloading tracking too, for people like us who do more than just buy and shoot.
After building it for myself, I realized other collectors might find it useful too. So here we are.
I didn't want software that makes you work for it. You should be able to add a firearm, check your ammo count, or pull a report without clicking through a maze of menus.
Simple. Functional. Secure.
By day, I work in IT: technical operations, technical operations, systems engineering, and cybersecurity. I've spent years managing infrastructure, securing systems, and solving complex technical problems for businesses.
That background shaped how Arsenal Vault was built: with real security, not just marketing buzzwords. When I say your data is encrypted, I mean it's actually encrypted, because I understand what that means and why it matters.
