NATE PATEL
Nate Patel - Owner / Operator
Before founding The King of Camo, Nate built his career in the aviation industry as an aircraft inspector for Bombardier Aerospace. This role, which allowed him to travel the globe, ingrained in him an uncompromising standard for precision, strict tolerances, and rigorous quality control. Driven by a lifelong interest in firearms and a desire to channel his artistic talent into a tangible craft, Nate eventually shifted his focus toward his true passion.
Sparked by an early fascination with the intricate weapon customizations seen in tactical gaming, Nate set out to master the art of firearm finishing. With over 20 years of hands-on customization experience, he is committed to doing the job flawlessly. Nate is a DuraCoat Certified Flageologist and a graduate of DuraCoat University, ensuring that every project leaving the shop adheres to the highest industry standards for surface preparation, application, and long-lasting durability.
Nate resides in Cumming, Georgia, with his wife and three sons. He established The King of Camo with a clear mission: to provide a welcoming, professional environment where clients have the ultimate freedom to customize their firearms. By intentionally leaving the industry's typical ego and exclusivity at the door, Nate ensures the focus remains entirely on premium craftsmanship and realizing the customer's vision.
