There is no figure more closely associated with the Sounders-Timbers rivalry than Roger Levesque. The longtime Sounders — and very short-time Timber — now works for VICIS as a business development manager. The company is best known for making football helmets designed to help limit concussions.
Sounder at Heart caught up with him to discuss the recent promotional campaign titled “Seattle Loves Portland, Maine.” Levesque is from the Portland, Maine area and seemed like an obvious candidate for the position.
Who’s idea was this? How did you get involved?
I was approached a couple months ago about participating.
