Croke later established his own sales representative firm, Hawthorn Marketing. Focusing largely on newly emerging hardware and software companies, he ran the company for more than 13 years. Upon leaving Hawthorn, Croke took the position of vice president of sales at Hedstrom Corp., a $400 million sporting goods, hobby, crafts, toys and recreational products company.
