Addison Edmonds
A Tennessee native, Addison Edmonds grew up around dogs – but one British chocolate lab named Gunner altered the course of his life.
At age 21, while still an undergraduate at the University of Mississippi, Edmonds formed his first company: The Indoor ADvantage, a marketing firm that specialized in advertisements placed in the restrooms of restaurants and bars. After a successful three-year run, he sold the company to begin laying the foundation for Edmonds Outdoors, LLC DBA Gunner Kennels. Today, Gunner Kennels is a leading manufacturer of dog crates, and works to challenge industry standards with its evolving line of pet products.
