Terri has been with Happy's for 29 years.  She is our "go to" person & definitely makes our dealership run smoothly on a daily basis.  In the course of a day, she'll wear many hats fulfilling her daily duties.  All you need do is ask her & she'll get the job done. Terri & her husband Cody, a Baptist pastor, reside in Muhlenberg County. Obviously, both are deeply involved in their church activities & hard at work in service to their entire community.  They'll be the first to say their three lovely daughters are their pride & joy.  Get to know her, you'll love Terri!

Matt is a guy that everybody likes! He’s what you would call an all-around “good guy”! He has that “witty charm” that our customers love and enjoy. Matt and his wife Julie reside in Madisonville. Both are active in the community and their church.

Being the son of Barry, he has been around our store since was a a small child.  He has become a master furniture technician, excelling with modular panel systems & modular furniture.  He serves as crew leader & lead man on all our furniture installations, large & small.

He has learned the business from the "bottom up" & has been actively employed with the company for almost 20 years. If it seems like a task that's impossible to do, step back & give Matt a little time, he won't give up on it, he’ll do his best to make it happen!
