Brad Henderson — Human Resources / Compliance / Numismatic Apprentice
Brad graduated from Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law at the University of Memphis and has been a licensed Tennessee attorney since October of 2012. He moved to the suburbs of Nashville in 2014 in order to take on an in-house counsel role for a publicly traded corporation that specialized in providing treatment of addiction and behavioral health ailments.
After nine successful years of his professional career being spent in the healthcare field, Brad finally decided to venture out of his comfort zone and try something new. As an avid collector of all things rare (from trading cards to antiques and precious coins), Brad jumped on the opportunity when he heard that Nashville Coin Gallery was hiring. His favorite sound is the rich “clink” made when authentic silver coins are stacked on top of each other, and his favorite sight is seeing others smile. It truly is a “dream job” for Brad to get a view of all the unique bullion items customers bring into the store to sell, and especially, seeing the happy looks on their faces when they get paid a fair price at Nashville Coin Gallery.

He spent most of his career in the Healthcare Finance/IT industry before joining the team at Nashville Coin Gallery in late 2023. Donovan has always been an avid silver bullion collector, so after frequenting Nashville Coin Gallery as a customer for about ten years, joining our team seemed like the perfect thing to do! At Nashville Coin Gallery, Donovan's job description is pretty much "whatever needs to be done". He's enjoying learning all aspects of the business, and we couldn't be happier to have him on board! During his leisure time, he can be found in nature either hiking or biking but also enjoys traveling.
Sam Mizell -- Photography & Videography
Sam joined the Nashville Coin Gallery team in November, 2020 as a Shipping and Receiving Specialist, and quickly established himself as yet another “Rock Star” Nashville Coin Gallery employee. For a year and a half, Sam basically “owned” the responsibility for all things related to shipping and receiving, from assembling boxes to packing and securing the contents, from ensuring every box is adequately insured to generating shipping labels, from ordering shipping supplies to videotaping all shipping and receiving activities — you name it. If it had anything to do with shipping or receiving, Sam did it.
While he was here, Sam also became quite proficient at doing our coin photography and website video production, further cementing his “rock star” status!
Sadly for us, in early May of 2022, Sam took another full-time job in the music business — his first love — but he still works for us part-time now, doing some of our coin photography and videography.
In his free time, Sam enjoys writing and performing music.
