Matt is our resident redhead, as well as a BBQ wizard, pound puppy rescuer and devoted family man. He had boyhood visions of stardom in pro football or basketball, but since he never topped 6 feet or came close to 200 pounds, he turned to a gentler career in graphic design. We couldn’t be happier.
Matt holds an associate’s degree in graphic design, illustration and computer graphics from the Creative Center in Omaha. Before coming to IdeaBank Marketing, Matt worked his magic in advertising development at an area city newspaper. Print media is his specialty, and brochures, catalogs, ads, display items and anything requiring a steady supply of ink shines under his skilled hand.
He lives in Grand Island with his wife, A.J., his son, Flynn, and a golden doodle named Harry. He harbors a secret desire to spin records at a discothèque under the stage name “DJ Tanner.” Please don't ask.
