Leadership Team
Jason Edgley
General Manager & Instructor: Nashville Armory
I am originally from the not so firearms friendly state of NJ. I joined the US Army in 1998, first assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, Ft. Campbell, Ky. I served with them for 5+ years, deploying to Afghanistan (OEFI) and Iraq (OIFI). I served for two years as a Ranger Instructor at Camp Merrill in Dahlonega, Ga during which I attended the Special Forces Assessment and Selection. I graduated from the Special Forces Qualification Course in March 2007 and was assigned to the 5th Special Forces Group (A), returning to Ft. Campbell, Ky. During my time as a Green Beret, I deployed to Iraq 8 additional times before I retired on 31 May 2018. I have always enjoyed instructing, teaching, doing. It was a large part of being an NCO in the Army and I have always felt a sense of satisfaction from being able to produce a quality product from every level. Aside from shooting, I love cars, long walks on the beach, and my family.
Jeff Maples
General Manager: Franklin Range
Being born and raised in Tennessee, I was fortunate to be able to grow up around many different types of firearms. I was taught to respect firearms from a very early age, and that respect quickly turned into a passion. My first job out of high school was selling guns at Bass Pro Shops. While I enjoyed my time there, when the chance to work at Nashville Armory arose in 2015, I could not pass it up. Fast forward 5 years, and I was presented with the opportunity of becoming the General Manager of Franklin Range. It was something that I knew I wanted to do when I entered the shooting sports industry in 2008. I have been incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by great co-workers and leaders along the way who have passed down invaluable information and I look forward to passing this along to our customers. With the current growth of the shooting industry, I realize that customers have more options than ever to satisfy their shooting needs. That’s why, at Franklin Range, our goal is to ensure that every customer has an enjoyable experience while receiving the best customer service possible, all while providing you with the safest possible environment in a gun store and range.
