Josh McCollum - President - Email: info@simatn.org

I am a lifelong resident of Smyrna where I live with my wife Melanie, my daughter Cora and my son Jude. I am a graduate of Smyrna High School and later attended Belmont University and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. I am currently employed by Regal Furniture Company as Operations Manager and I sit on the Board of Directors as Vice President. I, with my family, am a member of Kedron United Methodist Church where I sit on the Board of Trustees. My interests outside of my family, church and work include soccer, cycling/mountain biking and running/trail running.

Lee Cole - Internal Vice President

I grew up in Smyrna and have lived here for 43 years. I graduated from Smyrna High School in 1978. I then completed my Pre Pharmacy at UT Chattanooga and attended Samford School of Pharmacy where I graduated in 1986 with a B.S. degree in pharmacy. I have served as President of the Rutherford County Pharmacy Association and was a past member of the Rutherford County Board of Health.

My hobbies include, my favorite skiing and snowmobiling in Telluride in the winter and spending the summers on my boat in the middle of Percy Priest Lake relaxing, thinking about nothing. I also love UT and Titans football and an occasional college basketball game. Paintball has also become a new hobby of mine over the past couple of years. I also love spending time with my family; which God has blessed me with such a loving father and mother that have instilled my values which I use in my daily interactions with each and every person I come into contact with.

Heather Cole - Secretary

My name is Heather Cole and I am the Business Manager for Smyrna Rexall Drug Inc. I was born and raised in Smyrna and Rutherford County and am a 1999 Smyrna High School graduate and a 2004 Public Relations graduate from M.T.S.U. I began working at Smyrna Rexall for my grandfather and father when I was old enough to work, beginning my career dusting, sweeping, and evolving into a cashier. Smyrna Rexall became my career in 2003 when Lee (my uncle) asked me to come on full-time as the Business Manager.

My spare time is taken up by fitness activities: running, or taking a Spin or yoga class at the local YMCA.
