As part of the third generation of Jones family jewelry professionals, I look forward to continuing this legacy.”

The leadership transition follows the departure of Lamar McCubbin, who served as president for the past 11 years. McCubbin stepped down earlier this month to spend more time with family. Although he will no longer be involved in the day-to-day operations at Sissy’s Log Cabin, he will continue his work in the jewelry industry as a consultant for various jewelry and retail clients.
“Lamar is a remarkable leader and will remain a close friend to Sissy’s Log Cabin,” said Bill. “We wish him all the best as he takes time to be with his family and we are deeply grateful for his contributions to the growth and success of our company.”
