Episode 04 From Army Tank Commander to SilencerCo BOGO With Dewie Vieira

What do an Army tank commander, a pharmaceutical sales rep, and a Director of Sales at SilencerCo have in common? The one and only Dewie Vieira. Although these 3 roles seem starkly different from one another, Dewie, who is currently the Senior Product Specialist at SilencerCo, helps us connect the dots in this episode of the Silencer Shop Podcast.

Dewie was born in Quincy, Massachusetts, a humble town that’s small and unassuming. But he credits Georgia for his upbringing and claims to be a southerner at the core. These cities might have helped shape him, but what equally shaped who he is, is his father. You see, Dewie’s father, and grandfather, was in the military. As a third generation enlistee, Dewie had already grown up with a deep sense of responsibility, balance, and discipline that most take years to learn.

So, what would’ve been culture shock for most in enlisting in the Army and going through training camps, was a seamless transition for Dewie. While he grew up with strong leadership traits, they were all sharpened during his time as a tank commander in the Army.

We won’t give away Dewie’s entire story here, because it’s his to tell. But everything he talks about had us on the edge of our seats, ready to hear more.

In this episode, you’ll learn about his time as an Army tank commander, including a sweet story involving what not to do with a tank; as well as his brief stint at a pharmaceutical sales company and how he landed a job at SilencerCo. Dewie also dives into the SilencerCo BOGO event of 2018 and how it affected the suppressor market after 41F (you don't want to miss this!).

As you can see, there are stories within stories, so listen in and let Dewie take the wheel!
