"Meet the Hoppers!" #3

Name: Marc

Position & Years: Account Manager; 4 Months  

Home town: Jericho, NY (on Long Island)  

Favorite Toy: Matchbox cars and I would play "Smash Up Derby" You would smash two cars together and which ever one ended up-right would move on to the next round.  All cars had names and my favorite 2 were MP Superior 5 and Black Lightning. Two-Sider was the name of the reject car.  

Favorite Super Hero: was Superman. I used to act out the entire movie in my back yard.  He had more powers than any other super hero. Anyone would love to fly and even more important, he can see through anything. That would be a pretty cool trick

Favorite TV Shows as child: Six Million Dollar Man, Different Strokes, Muppet Show, Scooby Doo, Super friends, Hart to Hart, Quincy, Fantasy Island, Charlie's Angels and The Love Boat  

Outside of work I am busy with my wife, Elena, and 4 1/2 year old daughter Hallie. On weekends we have her soccer games, swim and gymnastics and we also do so many other things together. I am an avid tennis player and runner. I love traveling going to concerts and sporting events. The NYC marathon is my next big event - running for the first time!

Favorite toy?: Barbie, all the way… Ferrari, Trailer, Ken and all.  Only my Barbies had Saved by the Bell cast member names.

Meet the Hoppers!

Sometimes it's nice to know who is behind the scenes at your favorite company (let's just assume that we're one of your favorites ;)) So every week we will feature a new Skip Hop team member for you to get to know! Hope you enjoy meeting the "Skip Hoppers!"

Name: Kelly

Favorite super-hero?: Jem from "Jem and the Holograms" (she was a super hero in my mind!)

Weekend Fun?: I think I'm a little late on the trend but I recently became obsessed with Vinyasa Yoga. Saturdays you will find me shopping in Soho and meeting up with my friends for our "Saturday Night Supper Club." If you have any restaurant suggestions be sure to let me know, but I'm a vegetarian, so no steak houses!
