JONATHAN ROBERTS – Sales Executive

“You can say I have worked here my whole life”. Hampton Products is a third generation family owned business. When I was young I did everything from lawn care, building maintenance , inside cleaning to schlepping chair samples. Later in life started to make sales calls and the rest is history. I love to golf in my free time. Not that great at it but I love the game being outside playing with friends and family. I am an avid swimmer. I competed when I was young but now I do it for enjoyment and exercise. My passion is alpine skiing.  “Skiing isn’t everything, it’s the only thing!”.

JESSICA ROBERTS – Owner – Sales Executive  

I started in this industry as an Interior Designer. I worked in the commercial market for 12 years. I felt that I needed to move on to having my own customers and went into sales and eventually owning a business. I love presenting solutions in a creative and inspiring way. I feel that we do this well at Hampton Products.

My passions are photography, art and traveling. Going to new places and learning about the culture and the architecture. I also love to cook & bake for my family and friends.  When I can I go alpine skiing, biking and golfing with my husband and teenage son. My motto is to not be afraid to try new things.

EDGAR HOOVER BANKARD III – Owner - Sale Exec.

I’ve been in sales for almost 30 years, and have been part of the Hampton Products team for the last 10. I am an avid golfer, started playing when I was 5 years old, and love everything about the game. Learning was easier because we lived on a golf course. When I was younger and could play a lot, I was really good, but now I play because I love the sport not because of my score. I have loved sports all my life. I played them all, basketball, baseball, soccer, football and racquetball. I played organized baseball and soccer through my 20’s. I love to watch them too. I graduated from the University of Michigan …Go Blue!! My proudest achievement is my 8 years of service with the Marine Corps and my honorable discharge as a platoon sergeant…Semper FI!! To relax I love a good steak and a glass of Willett Pot Still Reserve bourbon…neat

WENDY LUTZ – Office Manager  

I have worked for Hampton Products all my adult life. At the young age of twenty-one I came to work part time. I was told it would be short term. Well, two grown kids later and a new grandchild and I am still here. My favorite pass time is watching and playing tennis.  I enjoy playing tennis with my husband and two children. My favorite player is Roger Federer, I have been fortunate to see him play at the US Open in NY and Indian Wells in CA. My goal is to see as many tournaments in the near future and ultimately to go to Wimbledon. I love to spend time on or near any lake with my family. I especially love the Great Lakes!! I am also a beer snob!! Love Michigan Craft Beers!

CHOCOLATE – Office Mascot

She was a stray that we found in 2010. Her favorite pass time is playing  with phone cords and tossing the football around. Ed likes to think she’s a Wolverine fan!, while Wendy thinks she’s a Spartan fan! Its lots a fun around football season. She is the official comfort tester of all the chairs that come into our office. She gives her sign of approval by sleeping on them. She is not much of a mouser, but she will give you all the loving you need on those stressful days at the office.
