JOHN ABBOTT, CEO + Top Hawg

Picture
John is a patriotic American, firearm instructor, Marine veteran, lover of freedom, hater of tyranny, author, and designer of the most comfortable and versatile holsters he has ever seen. If you have a HAWG holster, John designed it, made it, and shipped it.

John has worked since he was 12. He served in Operation Desert Storm, was a tour guide in the California Desert, and a hot air balloon chaser near Palm Springs, CA. John was forcibly removed from Arizona by his parents at the young, but never tender age of 3. He was raised in the Midwest with his 8 older siblings, and has forged his own way.  

TRACY ABBOTT, Chief of Miscellaneous Stuff

Picture
Tracy has her hands in all aspects of the HAWG business behind the scenes. The team depends on her to keep us organized, she is the first point of contact for the media (if you saw us in a magazine or on TV, Tracy made that happen), and she is known to be the "office meanie" when it comes to deadlines. 

We finally talked Tracy into leaving the corporate rat race and join us full time. She has two decades of experience in the fashion and beauty industries holding key roles in product development, buying, and merchandising at both the corporate and regional levels. 

CLEMENTINE ABBOTT, Head of HR

Picture
Clementine is an integral part of the HAWG team. Her excellent judgement, high standards and vocal demands keep the team on their toes. Originally, Clementine was brought on board to head up security at the HAWG factory and office. It didn't take long for us to figure out that security is not in her wheelhouse. She now heads up our Hooman Resources department, which is a much better fit for her personality. Clementine also co-chairs the office "fun" committee. 

LUKE ABBOTT, Production Manager

Luke is the newest addition to the HAWG Holsters team. We were so happy when Luke and his beautiful fiancé announced they were moving to Arizona. Selfishly, we pounced at the opportunity to offer him a job at the HAWG factory. Luke has a keen eye for detail and a great attitude. Through Luke's hiring process we learned that Clementine is worried she may lose her "most favored team member" status to Luke. In our internal hiring meeting Clementine insisted Luke be hired on a 90-day trial period. Our Top HAWG, John, put the kibosh on that crazy idea and we welcomed Luke as permanent member of the team. 

RICHARD MILTON, Intern & Assistant to Clementine

Richard is our very first intern and we are thrilled to have him on the HAWG team. Richard is a junior in college majoring in Communication Arts. While his education comes first, Richard helps the HAWG team with customer service, shipping, and anything else Clementine needs him to do. Richard excelled in his HAWG onboarding training that included a book report on "Burying the Hatchett."

HAWG Holsters

​Gun Loving John

Burying the Hatchett

John makes HAWG Holsters by hand. No two are exactly alike. Sometimes when John is  almost done with a holster, he scraps it and starts over. Why?  Because if he doesn't like how something he made looks and feels, how can he expect the customer to enjoy it? John takes pride in every product that leaves his factory. John wants the customer to feel that pride. HAWG Holsters are comfortable protection for your concealed protection. John has a deep appreciation for people that exercise their freedom to keep and bear arms. He created HAWG Holsters to Help America Wear Guns. 
​​The name says it all, John loves guns. And he loves talking about guns. Therefore, he turned his love for firearms into teaching about guns and firearm safety. John loves guns so much he doesn't need a teleprompter. If you were lucky enough to take one of his classes, you know what we are talking about! While education is still a passion of John's, he holds seminars by special request only. If you are interested in having John as a speaker, please fill out the form on the contact page. 
A politically incorrect book that doesn't talk much about politics. The characters have opinions... and lots of them. This is a story of friendship across generations. A marine will do anything for a friend, or to his enemies. Order your copy here.
