The Professional Gridiron Group met for their 3rd Annual Fall Networking Event on Wednesday, November 9th. The 50+ attendees were treated to an excellent night of networking and camaraderie at the beautiful West Bank Golf Club on Cleveland’s west bank of the flats.
Our featured guest speaker of the evening was MATT HOGG. Matt epitomizes what the PGG is about by having a very successful business career that stems from his playing and coaching days of football. Matt was a standout player for Youngstown State from 1993-1997 where he led the Penguins to a National Championship under legendary coach Jim Tressel in ’97. The All- American offensive lineman earned first team praise through multiple outlets and furthered his career in the NFL and NFL Europe. Matt is currently a leader of sales/operations with Brock USA, assistant football coach at Strongsville High School and a board member of Coach Sam’s Scholars (a non-profit focused on bringing life changing literacy resources to Cleveland children).
