Brandon Maddox, founder and CEO of Silencer Central, nationally recognized as a thought leader on Class 3 firearms, has recently been selected as the recipient of the NRA’s 2024 Pioneer Award. What started as Maddox’s home-based Federal Firearms License (FFL) has evolved into a Class 3 Dealership and grown into the nationwide brand it is today.

Before his work with Silencer Central, Maddox practiced pharmacy and served as a marketing executive in the pharmaceutical industry. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and holds a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from Duke University.
