Who’s Grumpy?
About Us
A Little Grumpy. A Lot of Pride.
Grumpy Ole Vets (GOV) was born from a simple idea: combine a lifetime of military pride, a passion for craftsmanship, and a genuine appreciation for the friendships and camaraderie that make our veteran community special.
Founded by a retired U.S. Air Force - Combat Rescue veteran with a love for creating things by hand, GOV is part of Rip Enterprises LLC, a small, veteran-owned business built on old-school values: hard work, attention to detail, integrity, and doing things right the first time.
But GOV is about more than what we make. It’s about the people we meet, the stories we share, and the bonds that connect veterans, their families, and those who proudly support them.
We believe in supporting our local veteran organizations, celebrating service, and keeping the spirit of camaraderie alive.
We’re a little older, occasionally grumpy, and pretty particular about how things get done. But when it comes to our veterans, our friends, and our craftsmanship, our hearts are always in the right place.
Welcome to Grumpy Ole Vets. Pull up a chair. You’re among friends.
