Full-Time Traders, Overtime Refs

During the workweek, Hugh Campbell can be found in the Park Avenue offices of the Bank of New York Mellon, where he’s a managing director. He focuses on high-net-worth families, with about 300 individual clients and four BNY Mellon offices under his watch. His work wardrobe consists of classic navy suits and crisp white shirts.

On the weekend, however, from September to January, Campbell wears the black-and-white stripes and whistle of a Division I collegiate football referee. He’s been doing it for 15 years, first with the Big East, now with the Atlantic Coast Conference. His office in New York is filled with memorabilia including signed footballs and photographs of games refereed past. “My wife said I couldn’t keep it at home any longer,” he says.
