Stephen Hall
Founder & President

Although he grew up in the shooting sports, Stephen was always entrepreneurial starting his journey with a great work ethic. His understanding and love for technology helped H&H in an important way and assist in it growing into what it became. As the years progressed he was promoted to take on more major roles in the business and improved many things about day to day operations. As with any growing business Stephen was tasked on several projects inside and brought a different view of how to do things more efficiently and profitable. These included building a Facebook page that quickly became the largest of all independent dealer’s operations in the country with likes and visits. Winning the best Facebook site by the readers of the State newspaper the Oklahoman. Carrying on that knowledge, he also built and continued to adjust the website to keep up with interest of the ever-growing shooting sports market. After having the honor of working with many performance oriented dealers around the country he was encouraged to start his own consulting business. So along with his wife, Meghan they developed Hall-N-Hall. Stephen, openly states that “This will hopefully allow the family to help with the growth of various businesses to be healthier and more profitable”.
