The Team
By now, you’re probably wondering who’s behind all of this moving madness. Here’s the line-up, presented with limited commercial interruption by Movers.com.
Adam
Adam is a lifelong resident of New Jersey who is proud to have never pumped his own gas. When he’s not blogging for Movers.com, he can be found working on his book (which he vows will get published one day) or hanging out at the beach (especially at night). Some of his other interests include ancient Egypt and unusual marine life.
Adam graduated from Rutgers University with a major in English and a minor in Jewish Studies. During college, he wrote and edited articles for the Friends of Rutgers English newsletter. Before joining the Movers.com team, Adam prepared legal documents at The Trustforte Corporation and edited corporate psychology reports at Caliper.
WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING JOB ADAM EVER HAD? : I spent three summers selling Italian ice out of a little truck. I drove through all different types of neighborhoods and met a lot of great, and not-so-great, people.
WHAT DOES ADAM LIKE TO WATCH ON TV? : My favorite show, by far, is South Park. It has the perfect blend of comedy and social commentary. I also enjoy everything on the Travel Channel and Food Network, and I try to catch old episodes of Married…With Children whenever possible.
DOES HE HAVE ANY SPECIAL TALENTS? : Name any country and I can (usually) tell you the capital. I can also twist my feet backwards.
WHAT IS HIS MOST HUMBLING MOVING EXPERIENCE? : My most humbling moving experience occurred as I was moving into my basement room of a house I was renting in college. Only after struggling to get everything down the narrow staircase did I notice a door in the basement that opened up to the backyard.
HAS ADAM HAD ANY CELEBRITY ENCOUNTERS? : I’ve been on an airplane with Willard Scott and with one of the guys from ZZ Top. So, to answer the question, no.
Sean
Sean grew up and has spent his whole life in New Jersey. In addition to writing for Movers.com, Sean spends his time helping out at church and playing guitar. He’s an avid baseball fan, particularly of the New York Yankees. Sean also has a great love of traveling, has spent time in France, England, Poland, and Taiwan, and is always looking for another overseas adventure.
Sean is currently studying Journalism and Professional Writing at The College of New Jersey and is on track to graduate in December of 2009. He’s hoping to go to graduate school and has aspirations of being a novelist and college professor.
HOW MUCH DOES SEAN LOVE BASEBALL? : While still a full-time student, I’ve gone to around 40 Yankee games over the past 3 years. I hope I can get season tickets one day.
DOES HE HAVE ANY STRANGE HABITS? : I absolutely love ham and cheese sandwiches. I’ve eaten at least one almost every day for the past 10 years.
WHERE’S SEAN’S FAVORITE PLACE TO BE? : Without at doubt, it’s New York City. I particularly like Yankee Stadium and John’s Pizza on 44th street. If I could live anywhere else in the country, it would be in NYC.
WHAT’S HIS WORST MOVING EXPERIENCE? : When I was 4, my family and I moved into a new house. Somehow in the process, I lost my two favorite toys. The first was a Star Trek® phaser (laser gun) toy. The second was my Matchbox® carwash. Now I know to take extra special care when packing so that all my favorite things make it to my new home.
WHO ARE SEAN’S FAVORITE MUSICIANS? : I love bands that say something honest and are creative with their music and lyrics. I really love Switchfoot, U2, Death Cab for Cutie, and Counting Crows. Also, I wish I could play guitar half as well as Trace Bundy.
