Christopher McClintook
Owner
Originally from Ohio, I graduated from Kent State University (2000) and, in 2003, founded Personal Best Fitness, a Personal Training Studio in Brentwood, TN. Aimed at helping and inspiring my community, I bootstrapped this start-up and managed all operations, including Marketing, Accounting, Cleaning, Answering Phones, Training, and Hiring – occasionally stopping for sleep. Today, the company runs with amazing people, and I want to continue supporting my community. That’s when I came across Comfort Keepers.
I have also founded community events, races, and triathlons, raising hundreds of thousands for local charities. I was also a trader at a hedge fund, had my real estate license for investment properties, and wrote two books. As Head Coach for 16 years of TN Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s “Team In Training,” we raised almost $20 million for cancer research – all of which remains a proud moment for me.
I have run over 80 marathons and triathlons, including Ironman, Boston Marathon, Ultra Marathons, Trail Marathons, and the Grand Canyon’s Rim2Rim2Rim (twice), raising money for Alzheimer’s and ALS.
Ask me to help, and let’s see what a difference we can make together.
Jessie Lough
Director of Operations
I spent most of my younger years in Sevier County. It's a funny story: I was a singer and sang country music. I was signed with Platinum Power Records for a little over a year before deciding to move to Anderson County. In 2019, I joined the Comfort Keepers family as a caregiver. Within 3 months, I transitioned into the scheduling position, and after 5 years, I moved into the Director of Operations position. Previously, I worked with autistic children for two years; before that, I was a deputy sheriff. I have three children and have been married to my wife, Harriett, for 19 years.
Jennifer Cason
General Manager
I am a well-traveled mother of three who has experienced heartbreak at the deepest levels, driving me to stand in the gap for others. I coordinate our Comfort Keepers TN home care team, which locates, trains, and schedules quality caregivers to take care of our customers or their loved ones. Matching the right caregiver with a consumer in need is challenging, but my team strives to make the right connections with dedicated persistence. In my spare time, I enjoy sewing, embroidery, and other creative crafting activities.
Brittney Barbee
Human Resources Manager
I am from Nashville, TN. I have over 6 years of customer service and management experience and a passion for the senior community and the people who serve them. I enjoy spending time with my daughter, my 2 cats, and many plant babies in my spare time. I love crafting, music, hiking, and traveling. I am hard-working and compassionate, and I hope to bring light and positivity to everything I am involved in.
Bethany Campbell
Scheduling Coordinator
I'm Bethany, and I'm from Knoxville, TN. I've been in the healthcare field for more than 8 years and spent 3 of those years on the scheduling team. Although I'm new to Comfort Keepers, I'm excited and ready for this new chapter in my career. I've been happily married to my high school sweetheart for 3 years, and we've got a beautiful son together. Growing up, my dad was my main support, raising me and my 5 siblings all by himself. When I'm not working or taking care of things, I love hanging out with my family and friends. Some of my favorite things to do include visiting park attractions, painting, and watching Grey's Anatomy. #GO VOLS
Jennifer Craddock
Scheduling Coordinator
I am a native Floridian transplanted here in Tennessee since 2013. I have a compassionate heart and love to spread kindness. I have worked in medicine for most of my adult career and greatly enjoy helping others. I have experience in various healthcare settings, including home health, long-term care, skilled nursing, and doctor’s offices. I have a strong desire to help our elder community whenever possible. They are full of knowledge, and I have learned much from servicing them. I like to keep my mind sharpened through puzzles and trivia games in my free time. I also enjoy exploring all the beautiful places and spaces here in Tennessee. I started at Comfort Keepers as a Scheduling Coordinator and quickly moved into a supervisor role in my department. My heart has always been with our seniors, and I am excited to move into my new role as a Scheduling Coordinator. I can't wait to assist our clients in need.
Noel Nalls
Scheduling Supervisor
I’m a native Tennessean with an extensive background in caring for the most vulnerable and valuable of our population. I have been in the healthcare industry for over 8 years in many different roles. I enjoy being able to help people navigate through difficult circumstances and provide them with support and relief. I was raised to be a hard worker, and no matter the job, I always give 110%. I am extremely close to my family and have a cat that is definitely my fur baby. I can truly say most of my free time is spent with them. When not with my family, I enjoy doing anything related to history, the arts, nature, reading, or furthering my knowledge in various subjects.
