Hampton Dortch is the host of the 'Wake Up and Lead' Leadership Podcast. He is Wildsparq’s Sales Development Leader, which essentially means he’s one of the guys responsible for finding potential Wildsparq users all over the country. Hampton believes in the mission of Wildsparq and has a heart for companies that care about their people, their legacy, and the impact they will make in the world. A graduate of Samford University, Hampton was a Marketing major, which has helped him greatly as he seeks to make connections and share the benefits of the Wildsparq strategy each and every day. He says his greatest accomplishment in life was completed the day he got his wife, Erica, to say “I do.” Among his favorite things to do when he’s not at Wildsparq, Hampton lists “watching Erica do what she loves” at the very top (she’s a photographer, by the way). To meet Hampton is to know Hampton, and to know Hampton is to love Hampton. He’s fun, funny, happy, laid back, and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure his hair looks perfect in any and all situations.
