Jim Lyman, Founder and developer of the True Vector technology, recently retired from a 25-year career as a Special Agent and Firearms Instructor of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). His extensive experience training and remediating New Agent shooters at the FBI Academy, while using advanced diagnostic tools to document real-time execution, has provided Jim with a deep understanding of the challenges shooters face, particularly in achieving accuracy.

 

Jim qualified for membership in the exclusive FBI Possible Club, a challenging, timed tactical pistol course requiring 100% accuracy. He is a former U.S. Marine, along with most of the True Vector team. Jim graduated first in his Company from Parris Island 3rd Battalion, Expert Rifleman.

 

Jim has extensive investigative experience among diverse communities in mission-oriented team environments. Additionally, he has held leadership roles in the military, corrections, and law enforcement fields. Jim’s combined experiences have enhanced his ability to accumulate allies and perspectives to overcome seemingly intractable challenges and assemble a strong team for True Vector. Together, this team is bringing to market a never-before-seen approach to marksmanship training which is simultaneously old school and innovative.

Matt Gish is a nationally respected gunsmith, instructor, and entrepreneur. He has a long history of excellence in the firearms industry in sales and gunsmithing with the Springfield Armory Custom Shop and as lead gunsmith with Les Baer Custom. It was at Les Baer, one of the most highly respected precision gun manufacturers in the world, where Matt secured a coveted FBI contract for a high-capacity model 1911 for their SWAT and Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) operators. This effort required exacting engineering and extensive testing to meet their high standards. This excellence resulted in Matt’s employment with the FBI, where he became the lead gunsmith for the Bureau’s HRT and SWAT teams.

 

The high volume of firearms moving through the hands of these operators, as well as thousands of agents at the FBI Academy and in the field, gave Matt the unique opportunity to examine and resolve the multitude of issues that arise in such a highly diverse law enforcement user population. His dedicated work led to close affiliation with all the Bureau's firearms units as well as weapons suppliers, including Glock.

 

Matt presently works closely with Gunsite Academy and is highly respected in both the law enforcement and competition community. Matt has joined True Vector to help create our category disrupting marksmanship training device.

Ian Osteyee, former Reconnaissance Marine, is the President of 4Sight Labs, which has recently partnered with Axon Enterprise to bring to market OverWatchTM Solution, an end-to-end technology-driven solution that provides a single unified platform for managing wellness from arrest to detention. This product opened an unoccupied market similar to the way True Vector is breaking new ground. OverWatchTM created the market for biometric wearables for custody environments, saving lives and careers.

 

Ian also served in the Intelligence community and subsequently trained DOD Special Operations personnel. 

​

As an entrepreneur who has just opened a novel market in law enforcement, Ian plays a vital role on the True Vector team as a startup business operations and strategy advisor. As such with True Vector, this will be yet another venture for Ian to bring a product to a market where no one has gone before.
