D.J. Snell
President/Founder

Well done, rather than well said, is a philosophy that has served D.J. Snell well. D.J.'s reputation is one of quiet integrity. He is a stable force within an industry that struggles to value quality and honest character qualities in both clients and managers alike in favor of short-lived performance and results.

DJ began his management career in 1990, when he joined Orlando, FL based sports management firm, Leader Enterprises, Inc. Leader exclusively represented such elite clients that included Bill Parcells, Payne Stewart, Paul Azinger, Joe Gibbs, Bill Cowher, Tom Coughlin, Orel Hershiser, Frank Thomas, Chipper Jones, Cortez Kennedy, Dan Reeves and Ray Everhaum. In 1991, D.J. attended Harvard Law School but returned to Leader upon graduation. For the next eight years, D.J. played instrumental roles in client management, marketing, event planning and eventually served as its President.

However, on October 25, 1999, Leader Enterprises suffered a devastating loss when a private jet carrying Leader's CEO, Robert Fraley, President, Van Ardan and client, Payne Stewart, crashed carrying all 3 men. With the help of Dixie Fraley, owner and Leader's newly named CEO, D.J. guided the organization through the difficult transition period including the reformation of a newly organized Leader Enterprises, LLC.

After new ownership had taken over the company, D.J. launched his own organization in 2002. Legacy, LLC was named primarily in remembrance of his friends and colleagues, Robert Fraley, Van Ardan and Payne Stewart and their example of maintaining an eternal perspective in the midst of their every day lives.

Susan Andreone
Client Marketing and Business Development

Susan Andreone serves at Legacy in a marketing and business development capacity. She has 20 years experience with speaker representation, agency work and celebrity management. Susan creates and connects ideas with clients and corporate partners, and then serves as the "legs" to fulfill our client strategies. Susan has been with Legacy since its launch in 2002; but got her agency start with Orlando, FL based Leader Enterprises, Inc. in 1990. In her "off" time, Susan volunteers at her children's school and mortifies her 13 year-old daughter by participating in a hip hop class. Past experiences also include rehabilitating and training "wild" animals such as lions and tigers, a skill that sometimes comes in handy for her job.

Jennie Hissom
Author Development

Jennie joined Legacy, LLC in 2008 to review the many manuscripts that come our way. She is not only a life long avid reader but also brings a diverse writing background ranging from educational curriculum to magazine articles and children's books. While Jennie continues to review and evaluate all incoming manuscripts, she also researches various book markets, assists our author clients with proposal development and through pre-established relationships with publishers, she submits the proposals. Jennie's love for the written word emerged at a very young age. In the second grade, she wrote the stage version of "Billy Goats Gruff" where she coerced many of her schoolmates to become actors in the classic tale. The play was a huge success and toured the 3rd grade classroom where her work was wildly acclaimed.

Stephen Kim
Client Manager

Stephen Kim joined Legacy, LLC in 2005 and is the client manager. When he is not managing his client's affairs, he is busy identifying up and coming golfers. Stephen's amazing eye for talent is only superseded by his big heart. He is one of the most sincere client managers in the business who probably care as much for his clients as their own parents. In fact, our client's mothers and fathers love Stephen, and with good reason. He treats them like family. Prior to joining the Legacy team, Stephen practiced law at the appellate level arguing cases before the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of Washington. He has a lovely wife and young daughter who keep him busy at home.

Cheri Yandell
Firm Administrator

Cheri Yandell is the glue that keeps everyone at Legacy together, on schedule and looking good. If someone needs something and can't find it, Cheri can. Cheri's unofficial title is "Behind-the-Scenes Guru At Large." She was also part of the original team hand picked by D.J. Snell to launch Legacy, LLC in 2002. Cheri's management agency roots began at Leader Enterprises, Inc. in Orlando, FL in 1990. Cheri served in various capacities from Executive Assistant to Quality Control Manager over Product Licensing. Her extraordinary knowledge, research skills and attention to detail make her an invaluable team player here at Legacy. Cheri is our "go to" person for accounting questions, client services like travel, itineraries and invoices. Outside the office, Cheri sings and plays keyboards with her church worship team; and was a featured soloist at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Before we know it, she too may be one of our clients.
