Bio
Christopher Hodge
I am honored to work closely with Adam Stluka and have for more than a decade. Adam is an intelligent, proactive and very capable senior manager and an overall good human being. Year-after-year, with proven results, he strengthens his company's financial health through tough negotiations, resiliency, and commitment to the partnerships he creates. In a word, Adam is loyal. He excels as a leader and is always willing to take on new challenges. Adam handles himself diligently under pressure and is always searching for ways to improve through available education in the hospitality industry to continue advancing Varsity Spirit forward, as he has for the last two decades. It’s a true privilege to collaborate with and maintain a solid alliance with such an esteemed professional for so many years.

I've worked alongside Adam for over 10 years and rarely found a coworker more diligent, self-motivated, conscientious, and focused than him. He supported our company brand as if was his own and negotiated tirelessly to match our culture and our goals. Our clients are huge fans of him and I never met one who wasn't impressed with Adam's knowledge and personality, making us the better for his involvement on our team.
