Nancie takes great pride in being asked to join the NAFCA board, because of their work with the Arlington project. Arlington is where her father-in-law has been laid to rest. She has said, “It is a great honor to be a part of a project in such an honorable and sacred place.”

She also finds joy that her three sons are scattered about her day as two adult sons work for the company keeping the sentiment of “Family Owned and Operated” to heart. 

Outside of the office, she enjoys her time with her four men and four dogs. Nancie loves to drum, (it is her way of being louder than those she resides with) cook, travel, and occasionally dabbles in a bit of Interior design via habitat for humanity projects.  She is also currently writing a book.

 

 

 

Megan Dresner

Southern Classic Fence
Longs, SC

Board (First term 1/1/25-12/31/27)

Megan, also known as “fence mommy” is the owner of Southern Classic Fence in Longs, SC, serving Horry County and surrounding areas. Her first 8 years in the fence industry was spent working for the late Mr. Paul Smith at Independent Fence Distributors, a wholesale and manufacturer for vinyl and aluminum products. After that, she worked for an installation company, learning the other side of this industry. Paul asked her once if she liked her job. She thought about it and said, “I enjoy working with my customers, but I am never going to ride down the road and look at a fence and think, wow, I sold that”. 

All of that changed in 2022 when she opened Southern Classic Fence. Now she rides down the road and even her children say, “Look, mom! We did that!” Those moments make her heart happy. She tries to make work fun for everyone, her customers, employees and children, with playful engagements like singing any song that comes to mind at any given moment, or working out of town and staying the weekend for vacation. Oftentimes, her children (who are homeschooled) are working alongside of her. She says that it is easy to like what you do if you are having fun while you do it. “The guys I work with, they are my best friends, we have so much fun together”.

Megan loves animals; if she had the means, she would have 10 of each kind. Dogs are her favorite and she does a lot for the local shelters and rescues. Her dog, Jagger, is the face of Southern Classic and with each fence she does for a dog, she adds them to her “Dogs of SC Fence” 

When she is not installing fences or doing office work, you have a 99% chance of catching her on the ballfield. There is no place on earth she would rather be than sitting behind a home plate watching her boy play baseball. She’s either in the field or at the field.

Her favorite part about NAFCA is the members. She met some of the team on a WNC project and realized that that is where she belongs, with like minded folk. On that first trip, strangers became best friends / family overnight.
