That's certainly a fair and reasonable question.
I live in Central Washington State, and I'm a long way from Radford, Virginia!
I have moderated the Grendel forums for about 3 years now. I also recently started helping AA with their AR15.com forum.
I'm a long time Grendel/Beowulf fan who has developed a friendship with Bill Alexander and some of the others at AA, and have visited the factory. I actually got to see the first drawings of the HMR rifle, probably before anyone but people within the company, more than 3 1/2 years ago when I visited.
Prior to this spring, I had no official connection. Starting this spring, though, I will be a non-paid shooting representative for AA, shooting a Grendel Sniper Rifle at F Class and other prone and/or tactical matches in the Pacific Northwest when I can get to them. (I'm a long way from being able to compete at a high level, but I enjoy trying!)
I'm sort of an unofficial facilitator, I guess!

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
