Redlands, California—

TNVC is proud to announce that Ian Gilchrist has joined the TNVC Team as our newest Training & Sales Associate! Ian is joining TNVC after a thirteen-year career in the U.S. Navy, including twelve years as a member of Naval Special Warfare (NSW).  



As a Training and Sales Associate, Ian will join TNVC’s expert Mobile Training Team, adding to their already considerable real-world experience, as well as being an integral member of TNVC’s Business Development and Government Sales Teams.  

After joining the Navy in 2009, Ian attended Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) in 2010 as well as attending the demanding Special Operations Combat Medic course (SOCM) before being assigned to SEAL Team 7 in 2012. During his time at SEAL Team 7, Ian has deployed multiple times to Middle East, and was most recently assigned to Naval Special Warfare Training Detachment Group One from 2017 to 2022 as an Assault Cell and Close Quarters Combat (CQC) Instructor.

“We’re extremely excited to have Ian on board at TNVC. Our mobile training team is one of the best in the industry, with decades of experience in both the military as well as SWAT and domestic law enforcement,” said Victor DiCosola, President, CEO, and founder of TNVC, adding: “TNVC has always been an end-user focused company, so it’s important for us to have people on the team with relevant, recent, real-world experience using night vision and thermal equipment and understand that what’s important is not cost, social media clout, or what looks cool, but that the equipment meets the needs of guys on the ground and providing them with the best capabilities available to do their jobs. We expect Ian to be a huge asset not only to us, but more importantly to our customers as an integral member of our team at TNVC.”

Please join us in welcoming Ian to the team and to the TNVC Family!
