October 2025 Glenn Greenberg

Congratulations to our October 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 OFB in April 2025 and I am a Managing Director in Premier Banking.

What has been your favorite volunteer activity – and why? Blood Cancer United (formerly Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), it is inspiring to see the difference they have made in the improvement of outcomes for the more than 100 types of blood cancers.

What has volunteering taught you? Watching from the outside, one may assume that the cures for disease just sort of happen and that researchers and hospitals have the unlimited funds to do this research.  Once you are involved in an organization/community you really see the need for “on-the-ground” volunteers to raise the needed funds as government funding is limited…

What did you want to be when you were a kid? Marine Biologist (yes, I get the Seinfeld reference), I actually volunteered at the NY Aquarium when I was a teenager, it was pretty cool I got to hand feed penguins and also assisted with feeding the sharks.

What is your favorite quote? As per my work email, “Energy and Persistence Conquer All Things” – Ben Franklin

Are you a morning person or a night owl?  Morning person, bit of a challenge as my wife is a night owl.

What was the last thing that made you laugh? I told my friend, an investment advisor, that the increase in Oracle stock grew Larry Ellisons net worth by $41B in one day, he responded, “Thank you and have you heard about the Lindbergh baby”? I laughed out loud.
