“This is a 200-year old industry that already centers around excellence. It goes back to the very beginning of, and to the heart of manufacturing in America — and we are revolutionizing it, with integrity, to serve our fellow Patriots.”
Joe Anderson
Chairman & Former Senior U.S. Army Officer
We’re here to dutifully serve you all, from passionate range sportsmen to casual shooters who just want to protect their families.
We use good old fashioned American ingenuity to bring you the best quality and selection: whether it’s partnering with other premium manufacturers, or crafting our own top-quality mil-spec PDA rounds.
Defense Logistics champions its values from the ground up, and that’s reflected at every level of our organization — starting with dedicated senior leadership.
“Equality and integrity have guided my life and career, and working with PDA allows me to bring those values together in a very tangible, significant way. My role here is to help people and the company flourish. It’s what I’ve done my whole career.”
Former Senior U.S. Army Officer and accomplished corporate executive, Joe is the backbone of Defense Logistics’ drive to support and assist all who are touched by the company. Joe earned military honors during two tours of duty in Vietnam. After his military service, Joe led a $1B business unit at General Motors, then moved on to lead multiple businesses. He is now CEO of TAG Holdings (one of the largest U.S. minority owned businesses), where his focus goes beyond just growing earnings, as he takes significant pride in the personal growth of the leaders of those companies. Joe is an avid bird hunter and salt-water fisherman. His connection to nature extends to wildlife photography as well as time spent playing golf. He is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
“I’m driven by a passion for enabling customer and organizational success and I take pride both in serving customers as well as training for sales excellence. Responsible firearm ownership is deeply rooted in my personal ethos. Working with PDA allows me to combine my professional skills with a cause that’s incredibly important to me.”
For over 18 years, Scott has been a leader in sales and marketing across multiple industries.
Scott is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and served as a Senior Director on the E-3 AWACS, the USAF’s flagship airborne Command and Control platform. During his 5 1/2 years as an officer, Scott accumulated over 1,500 flight hours, including over 450 hours directing air operations over Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom.
As our Sales and Marketing Manager, Scott is responsible for the execution of the company’s Sales and Marketing strategies, including digital assets, sales training, trade show marketing, and online direct-to-consumer sales.
Scott has many interests outside of work; family, friends, and church being key in his daily life. He is an avid lover of adventure, both on and off motorcycles. Raised among the farms of NW Missouri, Scott grew to love hunting and the outdoors from an early age, something that has stuck with him throughout his life and he has now passed down that love for the outdoors to his own children.
“I was raised as a military brat. My father served during my childhood, and that made me grateful and appreciative of the men and women who’ve sacrificed for our everyday freedoms.”
Tonya is the quarterback of our day-to-day office and HR operations. She has more than 30 years of experience in administrative support, customer service, employee communications, and recruitment.
When she’s not working, she’s almost certainly spending the day on the nearest lake, boating, or hanging out with family and friends.
“I was introduced to the outdoors and shooting sports at a very early age, so it became a big part of who I am. It’s rewarding to be a part of a team supporting Patriots in every corner of the country.”
