Bodell’s career opened many doors for him after his undergraduate stint in College Park. After trying his hand in professional ball, he transitioned into the professional world, thanks to his experiences on the basketball team at Maryland: but not without one more stop back home.
“I think that being on a successful team gave me an opportunity to try out for an NBA team, an ABA team, and travel in Europe when I didn’t make either one of those teams, basically to see Europe and do things professionally,” Bodell said.
Upon returning to the United States, even more opportunities presented themselves to Bodell.
“Then I came back to Maryland and went to graduate school, and I got an MBA in finance from the business school. From a business standpoint, it was really huge. I was in sales in the Maryland area to start my business career, and having been on TV so much, a lot of people knew my name and actually knew my face from being on TV, and it opened a lot of doors.”
That recognition translated directly into a successful career post-basketball and graduate school. Bodell found that his experience on the basketball team, combined with the ability to receive a high level of education, opened many doors for him.
“Because of that, I think I was able to do more things business-wise, and it opened up more opportunities for me once I got into the business,” he said. “I had a pretty successful career in the mortgage banking industry, I’ve done some things that I’m proud of in the industry, and it’s a valuable industry to the country - putting people in houses.”
