When passengers get lost or need assistance at Tampa International Airport, the Guest Experience Representatives are always ready to help. And one member of the team quite literally stands out from the rest.<\/p>\n

At\u00a06-foot-8,\u00a0Lee Green\u00a0is the tallest member of TPA\u2019s Guest Experience Team. While his stature might seem intimidating at first, his bright smile and friendly personality quickly put passengers at ease.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a bigger guy, so I always try to make myself approachable,\u201d said Green. \u201cHelping people in general just puts a smile on my face and makes me feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"LeeWhile Lee is an all-star on TPA\u2019s team, he was also a standout on the basketball court. He played all four years at\u00a0Tampa\u2019s Jesuit High School\u00a0before being recruited by the\u00a0College of Coastal Georgia, where he earned the nickname\u00a0\u2018LG3\u2019\u00a0\u2014 a nod to his initials,\u00a0Lee Green III, and his ability to sink three-pointers with ease.<\/p>\n

After college, Lee attended a job fair at Tampa International Airport, where he met members of the Guest Experience leadership team. He was hired in March \u2014 just in time for the Airport\u2019s own version of\u00a0March Madness\u00a0during spring break, TPA\u2019s busiest time of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust the camaraderie among coworkers here at TPA reminds me a lot of the relationships I had with my teammates back in college,\u201d Lee said. \u201cMany of those guys I still keep in touch with to this day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Known for his upbeat personality, Lee takes pride in making passengers feel welcome and comfortable. He attributes his approachable nature and genuine desire to help as the key factors in his success in his role. Every day brings new questions and surprises from travelers, keeping his work exciting and unpredictable. One recent interaction that made him laugh involved a guest complimenting his cologne.<\/p>\n

\"Golf\"\u201cThey said, \u2018You smell delicious,\u2019\u201d recalls Green, who\u2019s known for his impressive fragrance collection. He rotates between ten favorite scents, but his top choice is one called\u00a0\u201cAnother 13.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of work, Lee enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. He loves basketball, golf, and fishing \u2014 both freshwater and deep sea. One unforgettable fishing trip took him 80 miles offshore, where a hammerhead shark as long as the boat swam right past.\"snake\"<\/p>\n

Lee also has an adventurous streak when it comes to wildlife. He’s had a fascination with snakes ever since he was a kid, and once had a pet corn snake that escaped inside his family\u2019s home \u2014 much to his mother\u2019s dismay. \u201cIt must have crawled up into one of the walls,\u201d he said with a smile. \u201cTo this day, we never found it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether he\u2019s helping a lost traveler, swapping stories with coworkers, or sharing a laugh at the Information Desk,\u00a0Lee Green\u00a0embodies the spirit of hospitality that makes\u00a0Tampa International Airport\u00a0shine.<\/p>\n

Next time you\u2019re at TPA, look for him near the\u00a0Main Terminal Information Desk\u00a0\u2014 and be sure to say hello. Like Phoebe (TPA’s 21-foot tall flamingo), he\u2019s hard to miss!<\/p>\n
