With over 20 years of experience, he combines sharp design instincts with a problem-solving mindset and a calm, get-it-done attitude. Whether it's a quick-turn ad or a thousand-page, database-driven catalog, Matt brings clarity, precision, and zero drama to the work.

At IdeaBank Marketing, he’s the go-to for smart, efficient design—often working with his headphones on, a podcast in his ears, and a deadline on the horizon. He’s fluent in automation tools like EasyCatalog, but what really sets him apart is his ability to think through the details and deliver clean, effective solutions without missing a beat.

Matt’s approach to work reflects his top CliftonStrengths: Adaptability, Responsibility, Competition, Empathy, and Relator. He stays cool when things change, takes ownership of what he does, gives it 100%, reads the room instinctively, and builds close, lasting connections.

Outside the office, Matt lives in Grand Island with his wife, AJ; their son, Flynn; and their goldendoodle, Harry. He enjoys fixing things around the house, watching the birds in his backyard, and diving into a good baseball stat or a buddy comedy movie.

He won’t brag about it, but Matt is the kind of teammate who always shows up, always follows through, and quietly makes everything around him better.
