BECCA

BEN

Andrew enjoys running the point of sale machine at the Team Woofgang & Co., retail store, both for the chance to greet customers and because he appreciates the accessibility of this technology. One day he would like to work in a hospital, his feeling is that his own experiences would provide insightful help to others. He has a beautiful lab, Duke, loves the Yankees, and for fun he enjoys publishing his own music blogs.

Becca loves everything about Team Woofgang but really loves helping with ​production of our blankets and treats. Her dream job is working in a classroom that teaches music. She is active and athletic and enjoys excursions with her peers. She would like everyone to know that you can take something hard, like her diagnosis of William Syndrome, and make it something fabulous!

​Ben always likes learning something new and works both at the production site, where he enjoys making the dog treats and pet blankets and also at the retail store, where he helps to keep the store clean and nice and enjoys interacting with and helping customers. In addition, he likes creating signage for new products and helping with inventory. In his free time he enjoys hiking, taking walks, going to the beach, in the summer and in the winter season, skiing. His dream job would be helping people through customer service or tutoring.
