President/Owner
Jim DiMarco
Moving to Evansville in May 2007, Jim found his “gun home” at Red Ghost after searching for a welcoming shop outside of New Jersey. He began working part-time in 2008, assisting with the surge in demand, and eventually became a partner in 2015, purchasing the business a year later. Outside of Red Ghost, Jim is a paramedic supervisor, volunteer firefighter, and enjoys shooting at local ranges.
