ABOUT US
Veteran Owned & Operated
Greetings to all of our incredible patients at Howard’s Pharmacy! We want to write you this letter to explain a few changes you may have noticed. For those of you who don’t know, we purchased the store from Steve and Linda Rippetoe in December. After 31 years of serving our community, they decided to retire and spend more time with their grandchildren. This is a well-deserved reprise for them. For us, this is a wonderful new opportunity to serve you! As an introduction, the new owners are Chad Huntsman and Jacob Cox. They are both residents of Morristown. Chad is a 1991 graduate of Morristown West High School. He has a degree in mechanical engineering from Tennessee Tech, which he used while working at Mahle. Chad then went to pharmacy school at Lipscomb University in Nashville, graduating with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree in 2015. He is married to Marsha (Grooms) Huntsman, and they have two children, Hannah (16) and Olivia (13). Jacob Cox grew up outside of Lexington, Ky. He attended Lipscomb University with Chad and graduated pharmacy with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree in 2015. After graduation, Jacob worked as a pharmacist at a hospital pharmacy before moving to Morristown in 2016 to begin working with Chad. He met the love of his life here in Morristown, Alex Wild, and they just had their first child, a little boy, Carson. In addition to Chad and Jacob, another local person has a stake in Howard’s Pharmacy. That is Stan Eversole. As you may know, Stan’s father, Willie Eversole, was the original owner of Howard’s Pharmacy. He moved the pharmacy from its previous location inside Howard Brothers to the current site. The Eversole and Huntsman families are lifelong friends. They originally were in pharmacy school in Memphis together. When they moved to Morristown, they even shared the same U-Haul trailer to move their stuff. Chad and Stan have been business partners in the past. When this opportunity presented itself, Chad and Jacob knew that this would be very special for Stan to participate in his father’s old pharmacy. We hope that helps you get to know us better, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve each and every one of you. Please stop in the store and share a free cup of coffee or bag of popcorn with us so that we can get to know you better! Sincerely, Chad Huntsman, PharmD and Jacob Cox, PharmD

Jacob Cox
​Owner, PharmD
Jacob Cox was born and raised in Lexington, Ky., with his two older brothers. He studied biochemistry while playing soccer and tennis while an undergrad at Asbury University. Following graduation from Asbury, he attended pharmacy school at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tenn., where he met and sat next to Chad Huntsman for two years. After pharmacy school, he went back to Kentucky to complete his pharmacy residency in a hospital, moving to Morristown soon after to work with Chad and Joe at College Park Pharmacy. Outside of work, Jacob loves church, playing golf and tennis, traveling, adventuring and UK basketball.
“People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care. I want people to know how much I care by being a champion for their health and families.”

Chad Huntsman was born and raised in Morristown. He attended Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering. After working in Morristown for Mahle, Chad began working in commercial construction. In 2010, he went back to school at Walter State to complete his pre-pharmacy coursework. He attended Lipscomb University College of Pharmacy from 2011-2015, graduating with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. Since graduating, Chad has worked alongside his father at their family-owned College Park Pharmacy, located in Morristown, and has transitioned to owner – and occasional part-time pharmacist – at Mooney’s. “I love what I do. It is an incredible blessing to get to know our customers and their families, and to help them as they heal."
