The CJ Buzz
Check out our Executive Director's interview with Matthew Lesco.
Mr. Lesko is popularly known as "that question mark guy" for the Riddler-like suit that he wears in his television commercials, infomercials, interviews, and in his everyday life.
It was a lot of fun to have Matthew in the store for a few hours. We're considering new Construction Junction uniforms with green recycling arrows all over them!
