WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah – July 14, 2016 – SilencerCo LLC, the industry leader in silencers, is proud to consider Dave Castro as the newest member of The Suppressed.

Dave also shares his story of growing up around guns and how they helped define his life and contributed to his passion for elite competitive fitness.
