Mat is an Ohioan that isn’t quite sure how any of this has happened.

Throughout his career he’s worked at global agencies like BBDO, McCann, Adam & Eve DDB, DDB and Leo Burnett. He’s lead iconic brands in almost every category including Bank of America, Miller Lite, Microsoft, U.S. Army, NY Lottery, Verizon, MasterCard, Chevy, Kroger, Lockheed Martin, Jose Cuervo, Staples and Nature Valley. Whether it’s a global powerhouse like Microsoft, one of the world’s largest banks like Bank of America, or an iconic state brand like NY Lottery, creativity is the driving force behind everything he does. Early in his career he broke through with the Nature Valley Trail View platform that was one of the most-awarded digital campaigns in the world and as the CCO of DDB NY the agency won multiple Cannes Lions, including 4 gold, which contributed to DDB’s first ever Cannes Network of the Year. He was included as one of Adweek's Top 100 creatives in advertising and he's recently judged shows like D&AD Experiential, One Show and LIA Integrated. His work has been recognized by Cannes, One Show, D&AD, Webbys, AICP, Clios and Andys. He was also named as a board member to his alma mater Miami University’s College of Creative Arts.

His wife Gail and 13 year old daughter Peri are not impressed.
