Michael Bane

Michael Bane defies stereotypes. He has leveraged a career as a journalist, author, professional adventurer and acknowledged expert on firearms into some of the most innovative — and successful — shooting sports programming in the world.

He has traveled around the globe covering every aspect of the world of firearms. In addition, Bane is the recipient of numerous awards, including 7 “Tellys” and multiple Outdoor Channel “Golden Moose” awards for broadcasting excellence, an Outdoor Channel Lifetime Achievement Award and a Communicator of the Year award from the Professional Outdoor Media Association and the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Bane was actively involved in the creation of 4 shooting sports and regularly shoots competitively. He is also a big game hunter and a vet bad gunsmith. His weekly podcast, Down Range Radio, is the most successful firearms podcast on the Internet and an award-winner in its own right.

My advice for people in offices preparing for workplace violence: get a good backpack!
Keep it full of the tools you’ll need — bonus: it’s handsfree — you may need them, especially if you find yourself herding less prepared officemates.
