In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Fred Ghilino.
Fred is one of my former interns, as well as a former player in our organization.
Fred is now a full-time dad, husband, avid Miami Dolphins fan, semi-pro cornhole player (just kidding) and Account Director at Turchette Brand Marketing & Public Relations. Fred has been with Turchette, a leading marketing and public relations firm, for nearly a decade. Fred previously held various marketing, account management, and sales roles for Coca-Cola and Advantage Business Media.
Fred resides in Morris County, New Jersey, with his wonderful wife Krista, and two beautiful daughters Ellie and Lulu, and their 11-year-old border terrier puppy Bella (who could 100% be Youk’s chew toy). In Fred’s free time, he plays a wicked third base for the Expo’s softball team, and enjoys weightlifting, golf, as well as coaching and volunteering for the local recreational soccer organization. He has recently added long-distance running to his list of activities.
I have known Fred for over 15 years. It has been very special to watch Fred grow as a man over the years. As mentioned before, he first started working for me as an intern. He later played for us and then helped as a field manager for our tournaments.
We have stayed in touch all these years, and I loved taking this trip down memory lane with him to share, relive, and discuss all the great memories. We talk about the life, and business lessons that he learned through the organization.
Fred is one of those people who came into my life as a stranger, we became friends and I now consider him family. He truly is like another son to Sandy and I.
