Eric & Susan Gregg Koger: The Husband & Wife Tandem behind ModCloth

Some people are meant to be partners – both in life and in business. The husband and wife tandem of Eric Koger and Susan Gregg Koger is one prime example of this.

The story of their business and life partnership began when they entered college. Then just boyfriend and girlfriend, Eric and Susan studied at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Coming from Florida, they were both in dire need of winter clothes to survive the cold weather in their new location. Susan, a lover of vintage clothing and thrift-store shopping, took Eric to thrift stores to buy what they needed and Susan ended up buying more than the necessities. With her closet space running out, Eric convinced his girlfriend to sell the clothes she didn’t want nor need and created a website for her to do so. After graduation, what was once a hobby became serious business and ModCloth was launched. As the company grew larger, their relationship grew deeper. Eric and Susan were married in late 2006 and continuously work together to ensure the success of their company and their marriage.
