Dov Hoschander, thehappycorp global production intern

7.6.07 by press

You have no idea what our hiring process is like (check out our Private Area to get a better idea.) If we told you it involved massive games of capture the flag in the near pitch blackness at a secret training facility in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire you probably wouldn't believe us.

Just so happens that's where we found our new production intern Dov Hoschander. Dov (pronounced like the past tense of “dive”) says his prowess for camp games mired in poison oak comes from being Color War General at sleep-away camp.

“The hell is Color War General?” we asked.

But Dov's phone rang and he held up the silent-all finger. That's the thing about Dov. He's always got 72 things going on at once. Ask him what time it is and he'll say, “Where?”

“I stepped on a squirrel once,” he said. “But it was dead before it met my foot.”

“What?” We pointed to the phone.

“No, I'm not on the phone. I just hold it like this so it's quicker to answer.”

Dov comes to thehappycorp from Long Island. He graduated from Queens College with a degree in Studio Art and has since put that degree to good use waiting in line for 14 hours to try out for American Idol.

“I was president of the a cappella group at my college, so I thought I'd give it a try. Obviously it didn't go so well.”

thehappycorp global welcomes new Event Producer Jonny Santos

Originally from the eternal city-fortress of Sao Paulo, Brasil, thehappycorp's new event producer, Jonny Santos has a mustache he's been cultivating across at least four continents, including Texas.

“It's something magical,” says Jonny. “When I twirl the ends–when I wax them straight out–something magic happens.”

Jonny comes to thehappycorp from Mother NY where he helped put together the 2 day Virgin Music Festival coming up next month in Baltimore.

“I talked to Amtrak,” says Jonny, “to see about renting a train. That was one idea. Take over an entire train to help get people to the festival.”

Jonny enjoys the films Independence Day, Rocky I-IV, cut-off jean shorts, and Kinder Chocolate, in exactly that order.

“I'm from Dallas, son. The home of make-music-party!”

Say word, Jonny. Say word. (A brief parenthetical note: when someone says to you “Say word” the proper response is not “Word,” but “Say word.”)
