About Apex Tactical Arms
Apex Tactical Arms LLC was founded by Nelson Jose Laurenti, President and Chief Executive Officer, an eight-year veteran of the United States Navy. Mr. Laurenti joined the Navy in 1980 and proudly served two enlistments before being honorably discharged in 1988. His military service established the foundation of discipline, accountability, and mission-focused execution that continues to guide Apex Tactical Arms today.
Following his military service, Mr. Laurenti worked as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic for a local
municipality in Los Angeles County, California. In this role, he developed extensive technical
expertise, mechanical precision, and a strong commitment to public service. In 1995, he retired due to work-related injuries. Never one to remain idle, Mr. Laurenti continued his formal education in electronics and computer science, further strengthening his analytical and technical capabilities.
Mr. Laurenti established Apex Tactical Arms LLC, as a federally licensed firearms manufacturer and dealer (FFL Type 07) specializing in online retail sales, law enforcement supply, and GSA federal contracting in process. His professional background spans military service, civil service, and
electronics and computer technology, equipping him with a disciplined, service-driven leadership style and a strong technical foundation for operations and logistics.
Apex Tactical Arms LLC is a veteran-owned, minority-owned business committed to delivering
dependable, high-quality solutions to those who rely on them most — military personnel, law enforcement professionals, and responsible, law-abiding citizens. The company emphasizes professionalism, compliance, and personalized service while maintaining strict adherence to all federal, state, and local regulations.
Looking ahead, Mr. Laurenti is leading Apex Tactical Arms toward the development of a strategic West Coast distribution hub designed to enhance supply chain efficiency and better support the needs of the United States warfighter. Central to this vision is a commitment to hiring qualified veterans of the armed forces, creating opportunities for those who have served while strengthening the organization with proven leadership, discipline, and experience.
Through Apex Tactical Arms, Mr. Laurenti continues to build an organization grounded in service,
integrity, reliability, and operational excellence.
