The Pawnbroker Network is led by two dynamos who are well known to pawnbrokers, vendors, and other stakeholders in pawn:

Cyndee Harrison, Principal: Raised in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee, she has now lived in Detroit for over two decades.  Cyndee has been with her husband since they met at a college dance; they now have three grown-and-flown children, a daughter (26) and twin sons (23). 

About ten years ago, in the middle of a successful career at a Marketing & PR agency, Cyndee and her boss were driving to a client meeting when he suddenly exclaimed, “Hey, there’s THAT pawnshop!  Let’s go in!”  Cyndee walked into American Jewelry and Loan, met the Gold family, and ended up working for them—including while they were the stars of the global reality hit, Hardcore Pawn.  She’s been working in some capacity in pawnbroking ever since.

Cyndee has managed numerous media tours, served as an Executive Producer of a nationally syndicated podcast, and repeatedly earned media stories in national publications like Wall Street Journal, Vox, and New York Times as well as countless local media. She’s known for helping pawnbrokers manage communications crises including legislative challenges.
