Shareholders

My daddy, Loyd “Skin” Thrasher, started our business in 1946. I am a shareholder in Skins’ and have been in the business since 1985. Matt, Wayne, and I started our first expansion store in July of 1988 after making sure we had a thorough working knowledge of our product and operational methods. I am married to the former Beth Cromer. Beth and I have two lovely daughters and we have been blessed with five grandsons. I am an avid sports fan, and I enjoy watching my grandchildren play sports and perform musically even more.

I am a shareholder of Skins’ Hotdogs. I started my career with Skins’ Hotdogs on January 2, 1986, at the Original Skins’ location. I received all my training from the founder of this company, the late Loyd “Skin” Thrasher. I am truly thankful for his guidance and training. I trained in all areas of the company from making hot dogs to waiting on customers to learning the operations of the business. I look forward to many more years with Skins’ and opening more Skins’ locations. I married my high school sweetheart Becky Thrasher on August 4, 1973, and we have three children. Kelley Harbin Beak is the oldest. Her husband is Todd Beak, and they have two daughters, Haley and Taylor, and a son, Parker. Kelly worked for Skins’ in high school and college. Todd also worked for Skins’ while in college. Our son Russell Harbin is married to Jacquelyn Cooper, and they have two children, Landon and Kaybree. Russell started working for Skins’ in high school and college. He is the manager of our Marketplace store. Jacquelyn has worked in our stores also. Kristen is our youngest child. She worked for Skins’ in high school and college. She is presently employed with Anderson Federal Credit Union.
