David served as a Navy Corpsman before spending fifteen years machining gun barrels, aerospace components, and defense parts for some of the most demanding applications in the industry. He designed the Meridian from the ground up — every pocket, every tolerance, every interface. He designed the system not only to fit his own hands but to adapt to anyone's.  Customization is the whole point. He closed his eyes, raised the first prototype to a firing position, and it came up perfectly horizontal. That is when he knew the system was right.

Christian handles everything outside the machine shop — the site, the copy, the vendor relationships. He spent twenty-five years building and scaling companies before this, and the instinct that carried over is simple: build the architecture that makes every part better, not just the best individual part. That's the same discipline behind every pricing decision, every launch date, and every hard call on a vendor — none of it happens by accident, and none of it happens without him personally signing off. If a decision needs to be made, it comes through him. He answers his own email, personally. Not a support team.
