Cory grew up in Carthage located just east of Lebanon in Smith County. The small town of Carthage is where he developed strong roots in community, discipline, work ethic, and athletics. His early childhood was molded at a 9 hole golf course in Riddleton named Green Hills Country Club which was owned by his parents and grandparents. Cory spent several years of his childhood at the golf course mowing grass, weed eating, picking up sticks and trash, washing golf carts, raking sand traps, being a life guard, along with many other “fun” jobs and of course a lot of golfing.

Cory’s pharmacy career started his junior year in high school when he started working at Smith County Drug Center for his uncle Steve Wilmore, who is still a mentor and role model for Cory. Cory graduated from Smith County High School in 2001 where he was Salutatorian and a multi sport athlete. He pursued his undergraduate degree at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville before earning his Doctor of Pharmacy from Mercer University in Atlanta, Georgia in 2009.

In 2019, Cory became the owner of Buckeye Drugs which has been a staple in Lebanon for many decades. He prides himself on providing a community focused pharmacy and superior customer service which he witnessed first hand as a teenager working for his uncle. Cory’s leadership reflects both his professional expertise and his dedication to the well being of those he serves. Cory attributes the phenomenal growth at Buckeye Drugs to his incredible staff and customers who “shop local”.

Cory is married to a former Lebanon High School alumnus Megan McDonald and together they are raising three beautiful daughters (Ellie Beth , Annsley "Lulu" and Ivy). Faith and family are the center of Cory’s life and his daily motivation. In his rare spare time, Cory still enjoys golfing, but you will almost always find him inside a basketball gym supporting his girls. He is an avid University of Georgia football fan and loves to tell people.
