EIGHTY FOUR, Pa. (Aug. 21, 2025) – 84 Lumber has awarded its annual 2025 midyear Team Headquarters winners in two categories: the Business Excellence Award and the Rising Star Award.
The Business Excellence Award, which recognizes an associate who has demonstrated leadership skills, achievement, growth, and success at 84 Lumber, was awarded to Jason Cramer, senior manager of service delivery in the IT department. Cramer joined 84 Lumber in October 2019 as a service desk manager and was promoted to his current role in September 2023.
“Jason is the kind of associate that every organization hopes to have,” said Mark Caplan, vice president of infrastructure at 84 Lumber. “He brings a collaborative spirit to everything he does and consistently goes above and beyond to support both his team and his business customers. I regularly hear positive feedback about his responsiveness, his follow-through, and the care he shows in helping others. Jason truly leads with service, and this Business Excellence Award is a well-earned recognition of his impact.”
The second honor, the Rising Star Award, was awarded to Wesley Wise, a window buyer in the purchasing department. The Rising Star Award recognizes an up-and-coming associate who has had a significant impact on their team. Wise started with 84 Lumber at the beginning of 2022 and moved into the purchasing department in May 2023. He was promoted to his current role in May 2024.
“Wesley is a fast learner and always eager to learn more,” said 84 Lumber’s Vice President of Purchasing, Mitch Wagner. “He is a pure expert of his craft. He knows windows like the back of his hand, and he’s able to assist all the stores with whatever questions they may have.”
Starting in 2022 and held biannually, the THQ midyear award allows associates at 84 Lumber’s team headquarters the opportunity to nominate their colleagues for each award. The company’s leadership team then reviews all submissions and selects recipients of each award from their list of nominees.
