I loved working with Mat because he was flexible, willing to listen and able to mesh many different ideas and agendas into the greater good. His creativity also stands out: he thought of UDOT's Talking Orange series (among other good ideas), and my favorite days were when we'd be working together to get a video shot, edited, and ready for distribution. If I ever got to work with Mat again, I would not think twice. He's a joy to be around. " and "Mat is an exceptional business man. He has seriously amazing skills.
