Our History
EasyExport® began in 2019 when co-founders Jeff and Miles Grody had a vision for the future of international firearms trade. Finding that the complexity of exporting firearms and related products was preventing American sellers from capitalizing on the demand from international buyers, Jeff and Miles realized that a huge opportunity was being missed.
Through automation technology, Jeff and Miles realized that the regulatory burden associated with exporting firearms outside the U.S. could be eradicated; a move which would enable more sellers to grow their business globally and engage with buyers in new markets.
What We Do
We provide a revolutionary solution that opens up new international markets to U.S. sellers by enabling business to take place. We achieve this through our innovative and intuitive web-based processing platform that effectively and efficiently manages all of the regulatory requirements for merchants. Our systems also ensure that international buyers can satisfy the import requirements set by their own countries.
From obtaining export licenses when required to helping buyers navigate their countries' import regulations, EasyExport® ensures that shipments comply with all applicable laws and regulations, while providing a consistently high standard of customer service.
Why Choose EasyExport®?
EasyExport® was purpose-built to enable American Sellers and International Buyers to do business in a manner that is seamless, efficient and effective. Created by industry experts and backed by exemplary customer service, we solve the regulatory challenges that prevent American Sellers from satisfying International Buyers' pent-up demand.

Donny Hufham
Senior Director, Software Engineering
Donny Hufham joined EasyExport in 2019 for what was supposed to be a three- or four-month project coding EasyExport’s automation software. That short-term gig turned into his full-time job and today he serves as EasyExport’s chief software engineer.
Together with Jeff, April, and Miles, Donny leads the creative team charting EasyExport’s short- and long-term future.

Co-Founder & Director
Miles was the first person to share Jeff’s vision and joined him in co-founding EasyExport.
A former attorney and a veteran of highly successful startups, Miles works closely with EasyExport’s team of software engineers. He spent more than three years developing EasyExport’s technology from that initial vision to the solution you see today.
Jeff Roloff
Director of Product Classification
Jeff Roloff was enticed away from Brownells’ international sales team to join the fledgling EasyExport business in August 2021, less than two weeks after EasyExport began operating.
As EasyExport’s Director of Product Classification, Jeff’s primary responsibility is to tag sellers’ products with identifiers that enable EasyExport’s software to associate
them with applicable export and import requirements. More generally, Jeff brings imagination and energy to countless aspects of EasyExport’s operations and software development.
Jeff has been a member of the Iowa Army National Guard since 2007. He currently holds the rank of Sergeant.
Ron Rebennack
Senior Software Engineer
Ron Rebennack is a full-stack software engineer who brought nearly 30 years of experience with him when he joined EasyExport in July 2021.
Ron has played a major role in bringing to life every software improvement and new feature EasyExport has released since his arrival. Working directly not only with EasyExport’s software engineering team, but also with the operations, marketing and sales personnel, Ron brings a complete understanding of EasyExport’s business and user constituencies to his work.
Most weekends, Ron recharges by turning his creative energies to the renovation of an Indiana landmark, Rock House Indiana, which Ron and his wife Lea acquired in 2019.
Max Harrison
Director of Data Science
Max Harrison’s skill and passion is extracting useful information from data. In that respect, it could be said that he is the most valuable person at our company.
Max started working for EasyExport in 2020, when he and CEO Jeff Grody created EasyExport Insights™, the only free publication in the world that reports on and analyzes export statistics and trends in the American firearms industry. Max joined EasyExport full-time in January 2022, following receipt of his MA degree in Data Science from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Max’s work encompasses a set of confidential projects that will harness the power inherent in EasyExport’s transaction data and channel it to EasyExport GlobalPlus™ sellers to give them a powerful, exclusive competitive advantage in the international market for American guns, parts, optics, and accessories. Max also continues as co-editor of EasyExport Insights™.
Dave Levens
Manager of Buyer Registration
When international buyers register with EasyExport, Dave is the person who processes their registrations and emails them with any questions. Dave’s goal in life is to thrill new buyers in their first encounter with EasyExport. His burden is to thrill buyers while asking the questions and seeking the information required to ensure that registrations are in order. Few could reconcile these competing challenges better than Dave.
Dave probably knows more about firearm ownership and possession licenses in countries outside the United States than anyone. He brings that knowledge to bear every day in the course of reviewing registrations and recommending them for approval.
When buyer’s registrations are approved on Saturday or Sunday, they can thank Dave. He’s their advocate and friend.
