Where the Journey Truly Began

Every company has a beginning. In April 2001, at just 17 years old, Felix Teper joined ATN Corporation. Over the next decade he immersed himself in every aspect of the industry, from technology and manufacturing to customer relationships and SHOT Show. Those experiences became the foundation for Night Vision Guys.
