Who is renaissance firearms and why are we here?
Mission Statement
Renaissance Firearms is committed to impacting the community around it and bringing about a positive change in people’s lives. Selling quality firearms and accessories may be how we pay the bills, but it is only to allow us to help others.
Our values are:
- Care for other people!
◦ Family and Faith – We believe in a higher authority and conduct our business accordingly. We are a group who appreciate and hold sacred the idea of family and community. ◦ Service – Taking time to listen, understand and serve our customers. ◦ Respect – Our customers are our friends, family and neighbors, we are all part of the same community.
- Inclusive NOT Exclusive – We have all experienced it in a gun shop before. You walk in and look around. There are two people behind the counter as you come through the door and they look at you; if you are lucky they say “Hey.” You walk around awkwardly, and 5 minutes later you leave. You get in your car and start asking yourself, “Was it something I was wearing?”, or worse “Was it something about me and who I am?” We strive to ensure NO ONE EVER has that experience with us. All are welcome! This is not a gun club, it is a shop for people to come, hang out, enjoy and feel uplifted when they leave. Buying guns and ammo is awesome, but it is about how we get them to that point that matters.
- Education
◦ Knowledge – We are a team of dedicated shooters, hunters and military veterans. Firearms are in our DNA - we are constantly learning about new products, techniques and tactics. ◦ Legacy – Sharing our knowledge, experience and passion with young and new shooters.
Meet our Family!

About Us
Devon St. Cyr
OWNER/PARTNER
Devon joined Ernie as the first Renaissance Firearms employee in 2007 and his career as a firearms professional was underway. He is married to his loving wife Becky and together they have two amazing children, Grace and Abe. After graduating from UNH Devon was commissioned an Officer in the United States Marine Corps in 2009 and is currently flying the AH-1 Zulu Super Cobra Attack Helicopter(yah, that's way cool). Devon also has his commercial pilot's license and can fly just about anything you can think of. Devon's firearms experience and credentials include: military training, qualified combat marksmanship coach, NRA instructor, hunting, and retail sales. In 2018 Devon partnered with Ernie and oversaw the business as a Partner/CFO/GM.
If Devon could have only one firearm, it would be a Q Fix in .308 with a Full Nelson silencer and a Sig Thor 4 thermal optic. The local deer will have no chance.
Devon strives to serve both customers and staff to make Renaissance Firearms a family-friendly one-stop shop for all shooters while supporting the local community. Semper Fidelis.

Greg Allen
Greg is our Sales Manager Renaissance. He self-describes his job as “trying to sell guns so I don't buy them!” Firearms have been a part of Greg's family for a long time - he grew up with firearms safety and developed a love for shooting. He is an Eagle Scout, has completed several NRA and Sig Sauer Academy courses and currently studies criminal justice. In addition to 'anything that goes bang,' Greg loves his many CZ pistols!
Becky St. Cyr
Becky St. Cyr works in the back room at RenArms and handles shipping, receiving, online sales and transfers. She loves being able to help people enjoy their Renaissance shopping experience from all over the country when they purchase firearms online. When she’s not at the shop, she spends as much time as possible reading with her kids, trying out new recipes and going on family adventures. Becky enjoys target shooting and is growing her proficiency with a wide range of firearms, but she’ll always have a soft spot for the Glock 19 Devon gave her when they were in college. They got married soon after, have two wonderful children, and love being able to work together as a part of the Renaissance family.
John Correia
John is our backroom commando at Renaissance Firearms. Inventory, shipping, and receiving are his forte. Originally from South Dakota, John grew up as an Air Force “brat” before his family settled in New Hampshire. John carried on the family tradition by serving in the US Air Force as a fire fighter. He was one of a select few Airmen that trained with the US Army in combat rifle arms.
John’s military experience and training make him a great resource for Renaissance customers. John’s loves are his daughter, firearms, spending time with family and hiking.
Caleb Holmes
Caleb is a great Sales Associate! He has always had a love for firearms, especially the 1911. His start in sales began with Olympia Sports. He worked there for a number of years, starting as a Part Time Sales Associate, and ending with a Store Manager position. He has quickly realized that selling firearms is much different than selling shoes... Caleb is a very family oriented person, loves his fiancé, and surprisingly loves to learn! His favorite firearm is a Colt 1911 in 45 ACP. Watch him manipulate a AR and you will swear he is John Wick.
Alek Bush
Alek is our in-house gunsmith. He is a real pro with a wealth of information from being around firearms all his life. Alek is also a member of our sales team. He has recently retired from the U.S. Army. Growing up as a sportsman, he has been fortunate to harvest many species in North America. Alek is looking forward to working with his local community providing a high level of professionalism.
Christina Bush
Christina is our newest salesperson to join the Ren Arms Family. She is a business professional, awesome mom of three great kiddos, and wife of an Army Combat Veteran. Christina is an excellent shot and loves her CZ. She is also a wealth of information and a great addition to the staff.
