It is impossible to replace my father, but I will work every day to honor the legacy and culture he created by doing all the things he taught me and instilled in me. I look forward to continuing to work with our Vice Chairman, Dave Schermerhorn, as my father did for the last 20 years. It is an incredible honor to get to lead this great team at Harrell’s.”
