Proudest professional achievement: Co-founding The Hodges Partnership (what else?).
Proudest personal achievement: My “Seinfeld” script came in third in a national sitcom writing competition sponsored by Warner Bros. Television.
I consider the day a success if: I hear the gong.
Outside of the office, you’ll probably find me: Golfing, writing, chasing teenagers (my own, that is).
The first/last thing I do at the office each day is: Check my e-mail.
The toughest challenge I’ve faced is: Letting others learn from mistakes I’ve already learned from.
Best insight gained from colleague/client/reporter: Never hit “Reply All” on e-mail.
