About Selso Tello and Tello Enterprises

Meet LTC Selso Tello, Retired Field Artillery Officer, with Cannon Battery and Cannon Battalion Command experience. He even commanded an Embedded Infantry Brigade Team for the 201st Corps Afghanistan Army. He goes by Sam to most people he meets. His 34-year career in the Army and National Guard led him to pursue broad-ranging opportunities in artillery, training, leadership, management, military counseling, and even business intelligence. Sam brings a truly multi-disciplined approach both to entrepreneurship and to philanthropy. He has been a trailblazer in his field and continues to think outside the box, applying creative strategies to problem-solving.

Sam founded T-Zoom Research (TZR) in 2010 and continues to conduct research and development on rifle marksmanship. He was awarded four patents regarding the concept of smartphone rifle calibration. Sam created the smartphone app Zero Verify, formerly Record Fire, to boresight, record zero, and recall zero from the cloud simply using a cellphone and two sensors.

In 2019 through 2020 Sam leased a 27-acre farm in Midville, Ga, that included small-scale goat, chicken, and hog operations. He used drone deployment for better management and integration of high tunnel hoop house crop production and livestock operations. Sam is no stranger to agriculture. He grew up in Donna, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley working as an itinerant farmer in his youth and never imagined he would manage his own operation. In the spirit of philanthropy, he hopes to pursue veteran agricultural training by partnering with like-minded nonprofit groups in the future.
