Harmon has been proud to call the Dallas-Fort Worth area “home” since 2020, and he joined the Bellhop team around the same time. Harmon enjoys hanging out in West Plano, where several family members live. When he’s not rooting for the Dallas Cowboys or Mavericks (naturally), you might catch Harmon chilling out at The Cove Waterpark in Frisco.
