Our Company Bios

	Tom McClung- National Sales Manager I am Tom McClung, the new National Sales Manager at Harlan Cabinets. My career in the cabinetry industry spans over thirty years, most of it with custom manufactures in northern Indiana. I look forward to working with the very talented team here and expanding our distribution through a network of kitchen dealers that share an appreciation of all the Harlan Cabinets has to offer. I have personally ascribed to the business philosophy that centers on an emphasis of building long-term relationships with our business partners. I believe the process of combining the talented group of craftsmen here at Harlan Cabinets along with a commitment to customer satisfaction will result in a rewarding experience for both Harlan and our customers. Aside from pursing my passion for the custom woodworking industry, my wife and I enjoy spending time with our four children. Our family shares common interests in outdoor sports from boating in the summer to snow skiing in the winter months. We enjoy traveling, entertaining, spending time with friends, and watching movies.
	Lisa- Local/ Dealer Design & Sales Hi, My name is Lisa Laker and I come to Harlan Cabinets with 7 years of professional design experience. I graduated from the International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa, FL with my Associates in Interior Design. Upon graduating, I worked within the construction industry and renovated country clubs before moving back to Ohio and spending a few years doing freelance design. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and 1 year old, remodeling old houses, bicycling, and spending time with family and friends.
	Darrell- Dealer Sales I am Darrell Graber, dealer sales and commercial projects coordinator. My career in the world of custom cabinets began in 1984, right here at Harlan Cabinets. I originally attended college to become an architect. As things worked out, I took on the position of draftsman here. After the first 6 months I became a full time salesperson, where I focused my attention toward learning everything I could about the cabinet needs of our customers. I find this a little difficult to comprehend, but I have taken part in designing cabinets for well over two-thousand homes in my stay. Outside the doors of Harlan Cabinets, I am a Dad and automotive enthusiast.
	Elaine- Local Design & Sales Hello my name is Elaine Mathers. I am pleased to be cabinet designer at Harlan Cabinets. I have been with the company since April 2009, but have been in the cabinet industry for some time prior. I earned an Associates Degree in Interior Design from Purdue University, Fort Wayne, and have 6 years of interior design experience, working within the design field. Outside of the cabinet industry, I am a native to Hamilton, Indiana where I love to spend time with family and friends - boating or hanging out around the lake. I also enjoy watching a good movie, reading a great book, and just spending time with my two St. Bernard's, Sadie & Tracker. Design is my passion and I am eager to help our customers with all of their cabinet needs!
	David- Operations Hello, I'm David Wagler the Operations Manager here at Harlan Cabinets. Being a part of the second generation of family at Harlan Cabinets and being raised around custom cabinets has ingrained in me a real love of woodworking. I began full time at Harlan Cabinets in 1998 after attending Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. I started building custom cabinets in the shop while in high school, then worked in the sales department after college; Now I work in the day to day management of the company. It's very rewarding to carry on the tradition of quality and service that my father and uncles have built throughout the years. I am looking forward to the next stage in the life of Harlan Cabinets and can't wait to see where our commitment to that tradition takes us. On a personal note, at home I enjoy spending time with my wife and three boys, we love to camp and spend time at Grandpa's pond during the summer months. We enjoy planting a garden every year and work as a family to grow and harvest our own vegetables. I also enjoy shooting sports and hunting.
	Lee- Purchasing / Marketing I am Lee Hershberger and I have worked at Harlan Cabinets since 2003. It was a bit of a stretch for me originally as most of my work history revolved around customer service. After a couple of years working on our custom cabinet line, I came into the office where I did pricing. About a year later our Purchasing Manager resigned unexpectedly and I was asked to fill his shoes. Today, I am still in those shoes, but have also added the responsibility of marketing our custom cabinets. As a result, I have a unique perspective in that I deal directly with vendors and customers alike and get to see both sides of the equation. Away from Harlan Cabinets I am a husband and dad. My family and I enjoy fishing, reading, hiking, traveling, watching movies, playing Wii, and board games. We also enjoy cooking and eating good food like Sushi, Mexican, Thai, Italian, etc. I love horses and eventually plan to own a few.
	Kathleen- Outside Sales Representitive I am Kathleen Bredemeyer and I am proud to be working for a company that has such a long history of superlative craftsmanship and commitment to excellence. I originally graduated with an Associate Degree in Mental Health and worked for 8 years in this field. I returned to school and received a BA in Communications and Management from Concordia University Wisconsin. Since then the majority of my career has been focused in sales and marketing. In my personal life, I enjoy creative endeavors, good music, gardening , swimming, studying and appreciating the natural world and spending time with my husband Michael, my four cats, friends and my extended family.
