In my own words
— MatI'm a marketing professional with 2 years of experience in the outdoor industry where I've gained a solid marketing foundation within a diverse role.
I’ve learned how to put on huge events like the Outdoor Retail show with style, and I’ve taken old sales catalogs to new heights. I’m optimistic and energetic while also being solution-oriented, level-headed, and organized inside and out of the office.
