In a move to boost ad revenues in a down market, Theodore J. Marolda has joined the volunteer staff of Norfolk Now to manage advertising. Marolda, better known as “T.J.,” is a Norfolk native with a degree from Manhattanville who is an investment advisor with the brokerage firm of Brimberg & Co. Although he maintains a New York office, he works much of the time out of his home on Laurel Way, which he is renovating with his fiance. “When I was growing up I couldn’t wait to get out of Norfolk,” he recalls. “After working in New York and Florida, I couldn’t wait to return. I see helping out at Norfolk Now as one way to give back to the community.”
