About Me​

My name is Ashley McPherson Googe. I am a working mom of two. I have a son that is 18 and daughter that is 15. I am a 2002 graduate of Jeff Davis High School, 2006 graduate of Georgia Southern University~BBA and 2011 graduate of Troy University~MSM.

 

I worked in accounting and education but found myself back at our family business in 2013. I love working here because I am able to leave if I need to, attend my kids events, and be the mom I always dreamed of being while also making my way up the corporate ladder.

 

Our family business, McPherson-Ayers started with my grandparents and a cousin in 1979. My dad continued to grow the business and later he became the sole owner in 1993 then naming it McPherson Manufacturing Corporation. McPherson Manufacturing Corporation continues to be our “holding company” with now 4 other divisions: SealCraft, Southern Stamping, Southern Assembly and Packaging, and J and J Filters.

 

Lately, I have been spending most of my time growing J and J Filters. This business was previously located in Memphis, TN. After nearly closing, we have brought it to Hazlehurst, GA and revived it. Lately, our McPherson Manufacturing air filters are on Amazon and we have had a substantial increase in providing for the government. While I’ve had my hand in most all parts of the business, I’ve found myself excited as hard work has proven to pay off for the filter business. I consider myself extremely blessed to be able to go to work with a great team of people. It takes us all to make it happen and keep it running smoothly. I love being a businesswoman. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m excited to grow!

Sincerely,

Ashley
