About me
Matt is an award-winning, creative veteran with deep roots in social, mobile and traditional work. He's worked both worked in-house and at multiple agencies, building brands and winning awards.
Since the age of 15, he's been obsessed with advertising. Spending time writing musicals, performing improv, writing newspaper columns and anything else he felt would help build his toolkit. He carries both a Bachelor's in Advertising with a minor in Cinema, Television, and Film and a Masters in Advertising with a focus in Creative Theory from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He frequently volunteers at SMU as a guest lecturer and industry professional at portfolio nights and enjoys investing in the development of future advertising professionals.
Before joining the incredible team at Cheil, Matt worked on brands big and small, from Samsung, Metro by T-Mobile, Wells Fargo, Louisville Slugger, RadioShack and P&G's Secret Deodorant, to Borden Dairy, World Vision, and his son's 5th grade science fair.
At home, Matt enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons and the best dog ever, Stella. He also loves hobbies whose equipment takes up every inch of his wife's house and yard, such as golf, kayaking, camping, and his favorite project - building a 250-gallon BBQ smoker with his dad.
