Matt joined the A-MAX team in 2007. Bill & Ken saw potential in him and although he had no prior locksmith experience, they decided to take a chance on him. He very quickly became family in and outside of work.

Matt immediately became passionate about the industry, learning a great deal very quickly and his knowledge continues to evolve with the ever-changing industry.

Prior to A-MAX, Matt’s background was in shipping and receiving, and inventory control. As a life-long Sports lover, Matt was an assistant coach for Hillsboro High School’s football program, additionally, he umpired for Junior Baseball Umpires Association and Portland Baseball Umpires Association, where he worked games from youth baseball up to High School varsity baseball.

Outside of work, Matt is an avid Marvel fan, enjoys watching comedy specials, and relishes downtime. His greatest joy, however, comes from cheering for his daughter at her volleyball matches—often so enthusiastically that he loses his voice just in time for Monday!
