We welcomed Lisa Vail to our team in July of 2011, and figured it’s high time that she introduces herself!
Hi y'all, I'm Lisa
Hey Ya’ll!
If you have not figured it out by now yes, I am a true southerner. I think that since WamBam is located in North Carolina that Stephen and Denise felt the need to hire someone with a southern drawl. Actually, I think in the interview process when I asked Stephen why he did not have a southern person, he was slightly embarrassed. Don’t tell him but my sercret plan worked…… Embarrasment = Job.
Normally when you call in I will answer the phone, so before you start thinking I have an accent, you are wrong: its everyone else that has the accent, not me! We have such a diverse group here I have found myself talking like Denise and Linda, well kind of with a slightly different twist. Believe me, I am always taking ribbing about my pronunciations.
Working here at WamBam has been such a wonderful experience. I have worked for companies in the past that proclaimed (pretended) it’s all about customer service but here a WamBam it IS all about our customer’s and making their experience the best possible. We have such a great group and we all truly love our jobs and taking care of customers. Oh, and also if you have a question regarding your vinyl and aluminum fence orders and shipping, I am your person. I will be glad to answer your questions and even track down your orders. So please do not hesitate to give me a call, I will be more that glad to help out.
Lisa

Hi Everyone! I was welcomed into the WamBam Family back in March and it’s time I introduced myself. Of course being on the shy side it has taken Denise hitting me with a WamBam pipe anchor a couple times to get me to do this. I’m just kidding about the shy part. I must admit I’m a talker. I truly love connecting and helping people. WamBam gives me this opportunity daily. I have talked to people from the East coast all the way to the West coast. It makes my day interesting. I have to say WamBam customers are the BEST! I know it can be a lengthy process to purchase a fence, but by the end of the process I feel like I connected with you in both the business and personal sense. The WamBam Family is here to help you before, during and after your installation so if I can help you in any way please let me know. If there is something I can’t help you with, I’ll get you to the right person. I mean it truly when I say… I love my job!
Ben is an asset to our team
Say hi to Ben, a member of our WamBam team.
You might think that you need to be slightly crazy to work at WamBam Fence, but Ben is pretty normal and easy-going. I think it’s the easy-going part that makes him jive here. For instance, Steve’s 4 year daughter was in the office the other day. She walks up to Ben and shamelessly stares at him. Ben is a polite guy and doesn’t say anything. Finally I ask, “Kate, why are you staring at Ben?”
She gets all shy and responds, “Because I liiiiike him.”
Fortunately Ben doesn’t have to be a heartbreaker because a few minutes later she informs us that she won’t marry him because she’s too young to get married.
Anyway, Ben primarily works on our product development. He essentially takes ideas and transfers them to technical drawings and specs, mainly for our ornamental aluminum fence program. He’s also bailed me out of more than one jam with some great product renders. He’s a busy guy, because not only does he work 20-30 hours a week at WamBam Fence, but he’s also studying Engineering as a full time student at the University of Charlotte.
Ben is a man of few words. Steve will try to pull conversation out of him, and it works best when he asks questions about NASCAR or politics. Ben works out and every so often Steve asks him in jest to flex his biceps. He politely declines with a grin.
“Ben, do you have anything you would like to say on our blog?” I ask him.
He smiles and shakes his head.
We’re thankful for Ben and the work he does here. He’s an asset to our team. With his help we’re creating a do-it-yourself vinyl fence system that doesn’t require digging holes or pouring concrete. It’s fence that’s easy to install.
He may have turned down Steve's request to flex for the camera, but he's got a good sense of humor.
