Matt and his brother Brian started The Seat Shop back in 2006, and he has lead the direction and growth strategy of the company since the beginning. His strong leadership ability keeps the team moving towards the same goal, which has enabled the company to grow exponentially over the past 15 years.

Matt loves music and enjoys playing guitar with his friends from time to time. He is also a tech geek at heart, and you can often find him researching the latest gadget or software that hits the market. Most of all, he loves spending time with his family, and is very excited about what lies ahead for The Seat Shop!
