If I wasn’t working for Team Hodges, my day job would be: Play-by-play voice for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Proudest professional achievement: Co-founding The Hodges Partnership (didn’t think my answer would be different than Josh’s, did you?).
I consider the day a success if:I leave the office with most (if not all of) our clients happy.
The first thing I do at the office each day is: Put down my Diet Coke.
Most important thing on my desk right now: Football helmet autographed by Rutgers football coach Greg Schiano. It reminds me to "Keep Choppin."
Best insight gained from colleague/client/reporter:You can never stop looking for new business.
Curling up with good book or attending a rock concert: Rock concert, and not any rock concert. Springsteen only please.
