Shayne Goodson
Shayne Goodson
Sales and Account Manager

Equal parts fishing enthusiast, golf junkie, live music fan, and full-time dad-taxi, I’m always chasing the next adventure. If I’m not reeling one in (or, more often, watching my son out-fish me) or sinking a putt, you’ll probably find me singing off-key at a concert or spending time with loved ones.

I served four years in the U.S. Army as a Human Intelligence Collector, including a 12-month deployment to Afghanistan. When stateside, I was stationed near Seattle. After the military, I built over a decade of experience in sales and customer service across industries like automotive, advertising, and roofing.

Born and raised in Minnesota (Skol Vikes!), I’m proud to bring my background and energy to the EDGE team. The culture and core values here are what drew me in, and I’m excited to help companies find solutions that provide control, consistency, and confidence when working at heights.

Andrew Brandmeyer
In-House Lead Inspector

I proudly served just under 13 years in the U.S. Army as a Chinook helicopter mechanic, where I wore many hats — from turning wrenches on some of the Army’s most powerful aircraft to leading a section of dedicated soldiers. Over time, I took on the role of instructor, training and mentoring new mechanics to ensure they had the skills and confidence needed to keep our birds mission-ready.

After transitioning from active duty, I spent 18 months as a General Manager and Lead Tower Climber for an Internet Service Provider in Tennessee — coincidentally the same company where Cody worked. In that role, I was responsible not only for keeping complex systems up and running, but also for guiding teams through challenging projects, often in demanding environments.

Outside of work, I’m a husband and a proud father of two, which means a lot of my best moments are spent with my family. When I do find some quiet time, you’ll usually find me with my nose in a book about ancient cultures, savoring a new bourbon, or enjoying a well-crafted pipe or cigar.

About EDGE Fall Protection

EDGE Fall Protection, LLC, (EDGE FP) specializes in fall protection equipment for commercial use during the construction process, for new buildings, and for existing buildings. We strive to provide the highest quality products that are made in the USA by American Welding Society Certified Fabricators that are simple to install. 

Many of our rooftop safety solutions do not require drilling, welding, and, in many cases, penetrations of any type. When welding, drilling, or fastening is required for our Fall Arrest Solutions, we coordinate with an Engineering firm to ensure we provide a PE stamp for YOUR state. Our systems meet or exceed OSHA requirements and have had independent third-party testing to ensure requirements and specifications have been met.
