Frankie makes our warehouse a place you want to be. On a good day, you’ll catch him working/grooving along to his guilty pleasure: the Backstreet Boys.
His other indulgences include pina coladas — and, of course, getting caught in the rain. He’s also game to join you for a sandwich, especially if its origins are Pennsylvanian. Hoagie, anyone?
Frankie prefers to unwind by watching the news, or enjoying the riffs of his favorite keyboardist, Rick Wakeman.
He is a perfectly decent bowler.

Elizabeth, our Executive Assistant and Customer Support, is our go-to-girl for just about everything.
In her spare time, you’ll likely find this voracious reader with her nose in a book. Elizabeth also enjoys spending quality time with her husband, Chad, and daughter, Renee, knitting and playing the piano. While any kind of pasta dinner scores points with her, mac and cheese (the real deal, not the boxed stuff) is the way to her heart. Oh, we should warn you that she’s “the jump rope queen.” Care to challenge her? We wouldn’t recommend it! Elizabeth aspires to one day live in a quiet and quaint small town.

After working at a distillery for four years, Jennifer left the whiskey world to pursue Earth-centered methods of wellness with cannabis and joined us as our Creative Copy Writer & Social Media Coordinator.
A lover of old things, you’ll often find her at antique malls and historical places. When she’s not being a homebody with her darling felines, Jennifer’s out exploring and photographing everything she finds beautiful between the grandeur and decay.
Neal is not one you’re likely to find sitting in place. He loves being outside with his two kids, especially hitting the trails and splashing in a nearby creek.
If he’s stuck inside, he’s doing mat pilates…or finally relaxing with some bourbon barrel tequila.
He love to travel, just ask his palate — among his favorite cuisines are Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Italian, and comfort food.
Neal has had two near-death experiences that he should not have walked away from, yet here he is — watching BBC crime dramas, detailing cars, and loving life.
Elysha lives by the golden rules of positivity and acceptance, bad vibes not welcome here.
Elysha joined the team as a Custom Project Coordinator, but this isn’t her first gig with Hempfield – she has supported the wellness community by modeling products designed to help you feel and perform your best over the years.
She lives each day to fullest, experiencing all the beauty and opportunities the world has to offer. Friends and family play a vital role in her day-to-day since we only have one life, so live it up!
Darrian is a creator at work and at play. When his day helping us make the products you love is done, you’re likely to find him creating art (painting is his go-to medium) and origami.
When it’s time to replenish, he prefers to fill up on tacos and Skittles.
If you’re in the mood for a good conversation, you’ll find a willing partner in Darrian — we suggest asking him about the book he’s writing.
Dawn is a full-time freelance writer, and she edits and writes marketing content for Makes Scents Natural Spa Line. Besides her writing experience, she also has a product marketing/project management background in the technology industry. Dawn has a degree in Communications with a concentration in Journalism from Millersville University.
Among her favorite things to do are working out, reading, and enjoying take-out Chinese food while holding a lively conversation with her husband Shane and daughter Natalie. She also has a thing for showing her Wavemaster bag in the home gym who’s boss with a few hundred jabs and crosses.
Dawn’s guilty pleasure is watching “Survivor” whenever it’s in season (She has never missed a season – EVER). Her generally unknown talents include a flair for choreographing bodybuilding routines, acting, and twirling batons.
Our fearless Production Manager, Laura, has an affinity for adventure. In fact, she has hitchhiked across 48 states with her dachshund, Lupe! Laura loves the great outdoors—collecting plants, camping, swimming, and doing most anything else outside. She enjoys traveling and especially discovering new beers at the local breweries she visits while road-tripping.
With a knack for artistry, Laura’s talents include painting, hand-stitching, and weaving. In her downtime, you might find her binge-watching addictive TV shows and listening to cheesy 80s music.
A lover of the outdoors, a perfect day for Lauren would find her foraging for food while on a hike — then using her knowledge of botany and mycology to incorporate the finds into her home cooking. She especially enjoys global cuisine…and chocolate.
You’re also likely to find her talking (she’s known for long late night phone convos with friends) or singing and playing guitar (bluegrass is her specialty).
When it’s time to unwind, Lauren is known to listen to her favorite podcasts while chipping away at a jigsaw puzzle.
Left to her own devices, Becky enjoys spending her time peacefully: reading, watching fixer-upper shows, taking long walks, and being with her family — especially her gorgeous granddaughter.
She’s always ready to join you for some seafood or Chinese food; but if she’s the chef, she’s cooking up the best mac & cheese you’ve ever tasted.
For a great story, ask her about the time she met the real Maria von Trapp, who inspired the musical The Sound of Music.
