Weatherby Inc., a firearm manufacturer, named Adam Weatherby as its new president. He will take over day-to-day leadership from his father, longtime CEO and President Ed Weatherby.
“What my Grandfather Roy started more than 70 years ago is as special today as it’s ever been, and as president I’ll never stray from his vision and our promise to customers that ‘nothing shoots flatter, hits harder or is more accurate’ than a Weatherby,” Adam Weatherby said.
Ed Weatherby has been president and CEO of Weatherby Inc. in Paso Robles, CA since 1983. “I grew up absorbing everything about rifles and cartridges from my Dad, whether we were in the shop working or out in the field hunting,” he said. “It was an amazing journey, and one I was able to pass on to my own son. Now it’s Adam’s time to continue our family’s legacy, and I’m very proud of him.”
The executive change at Weatherby will not affect its process of delivering rifles, shotguns and ammunition to the gunmaker’s dealer network and customers. Following Adam Weatherby’s inauguration, his father will remain involved, serving as executive chairman for the family owned and operated business.
