Summer Huggins joined the Hammock Inc. team in December 2000. Before becoming a managing editor for Hammock, her experience included time in the marketing and public relations fields, as well as serving as a copywriter and editor for a major television shopping network.

A Texas girl through and through, Summer can sling a six-shooter with one hand while catching an armadillo with the other. This ability to balance and multi-task is put to the test daily as she manages the website content for all 50 state offices of NFIB.

She also keeps the in-house and freelance writers hopping as she schedules articles to run in NFIB.com's Tools and Tips section. A shopper at heart, her eye can spot every NFIB member plaque on the small businesses within a one-mile radius.

Off the clock, Summer likes to take in live music, good food and a jaunt around the neighborhood with her three "boys" (some may call them dogs, but not her), one of whom was adopted during an epic journey from Texas to Tennessee and back.
