December 2025 John Green

Congratulations to our December 2025 WaveMaker of the Month!

How long have you been a member of the OceanFirst Bank team? What role do you play on the Bank Team? I joined OceanFirst Bank in September of 2024. I am a Senior Relationship Manager, Senior Vice President in our Washington, DC Middle Market Group.

What has been your favorite volunteer activity – and why? I currently volunteer at the National Zoo in Washington, DC in the Reptile House. My lifelong love of animals has lead me to a place where I can truly contribute back.

What has volunteering taught you? Volunteering has taught me that many of us are very blessed. We should do our best to share our blessings with those less fortunate than us. Pay it forward if you will.

If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be? It would eat cheese pizza with my daughter every day if I could

If you could turn into an animal, what would it be? I would be a chameleon. Always doing my best to adapt to my surroundings.

What is your favorite quote? “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” Gary Player or Thomas Jefferson

Are you a traveler or a homebody? Thanks to my wife, I love traveling all over the world and experiencing different cultures. It is great to see all the differences on our planet and get outside of the United States.

Do you sing in the shower? In the car

What is the last TV show you binged and what review would you give it? I recently watched the Mandalorian and my inner Star Wars geek got to experience the adult version of what I loved as a little child.
