What Is ‘Sister Wives’ Star Kody Brown’s Job?

When Sister Wives first premiered in 2010, Kody was working as the president of Das Hundhaus Firearms and Accessories, In Touch previously confirmed. The company has since closed.

While Kody has not opened up about his current job on the show, his son Paedon Brown revealed via TikTok in March 2022 that Kody does work outside of the show. Paedon didn’t share what Kody’s job is, though he did mention that the line of work could be considered controversial.

Following months of speculation about the reality star’s job, one fan spotted Kody working at a booth at a gun show in April 2022. They took to Facebook and Reddit to share photos from the Tulsa, Oklahoma, event, which showed the Wyoming native standing at a table full of guns, ammo and accessories.

In Touch confirmed in December 2022 that Kody is a member of the supply company U.S. Tactical LLC, which would effectively allow him to buy and sell sporting goods in Utah.

Gwendlyn Brown, his daughter whom he shares with ex-wife Christine Brown, confirmed her father’s controversial field of work, along with sharing why she believes why he would like to keep it private.

“From what I have seen, he tends to say that he’s investing in things and I think he might just be uncomfortable with admitting he’s like, in the gun business,” she revealed in a February 2023 Q&A session on her YouTube channel. “Because of the political conflict about it.”
