Cliff Mansfield

Born in 1951 into an Eastern Oregon farming life, I grew up operating heavy equipment and hunting deer at very long range. Often 1,000 yards or more. I left to tour the world in 1970. When I got back in 1978 I started night school studying mechanical engineering and during the day I worked in Highway Construction. 130 hour weeks were common, but being young, it never bothered me. I was employed by a single company from 1978 to 1989. In 1990 I started an Engineering Consultant business and began writing what I call 'Techno-Babble' for major industry publications. A GOOGLE search of my name will pull up numerous articles I've written. Since starting my company, C.M. Consulting I've been privileged to work in numerous countries including China, Russia, Senegal, South Africa, Australia and many more. I particularly enjoy the remote Pacific Islands. The solitude of a remote Pacific beach at sunset is soothing to a soul plagued by the past. I also own and operate a very selective Class 3 Gun Store where I build and sell Short Barrelled Rifles (SBRs), Tactical Rifles and pistols. I sell sound suppressors also. I offer classes in firearms safety and beginner Hand to Hand combat.
