Howdy. I’m Matt, midwestern-raised, southern-schooled, and mountain-obsessed. I’m a hands-on creative that loves making things and seeing them come to life. It all started with a love for the printing process, which led me down the path of art direction, video, and design. I use these skills daily in just about everything I do. I'm relentless about the details because they're what transform strong ideas into unforgettable work. I’ve helped build and lead multidisciplinary teams and projects from concept through delivery while fostering collaboration and delivering high-quality creative. I bring energy, loyalty, and a fun attitude with me. I enjoy walking up mountains, skiing down them, improving my home, and experiencing live music.

Reccomendations
The five years I had working with Matt were the best five years of my career. We worked with some of the top athletes in the world. We went from cheering them on at the Olympics to flying out to Miami to interview them at a nail salon. Every project was a memorable experience.

But what stayed with me the most isn’t any single campaign. The most important thing I learned from Matt’s mentorship was the kind of leader that I wanted to be. I saw how he built relationships with me and my peers. I saw him being personable, empathetic, supportive and being genuinely invested in his team.

Matt is the kind of creative partner everyone hopes for: smart, kind, dedicated, detail-oriented, collaborative, and in it for all the right reasons. There is no I in "team" nor is there in "Matt." He has the business need and the client in mind at all times. He is a great talent with a fantastic work ethic and he's created a ton of fabulous work for our agency over the last three years. He's the best.

I had the pleasure of working under Matt for three years at DEPT, and he’s one of the best leaders I’ve had in my career. When I joined as a video editor, Matt saw talent and potential in me that went beyond my job title and he pushed me to develop my creative voice, take on more ownership, and grow into a Creative Content Producer role, a position that didn’t even exist on our team until he helped me build the case for it.
Matt leads by genuinely investing in his people. He gives thoughtful, honest feedback, advocates fiercely for his team, and creates space for people to stretch into what they’re actually capable of rather than just what’s in their job description. He’s also just a great person to work with — calm under pressure, generous with his time, and someone who makes the work better because he cares about doing it right.
