Aloha, and thanks for visiting. My name is Matt, and I'm a photographer, educator, and professional people person.I followed my amazing wife to her home of Central PA in 2019, after spending ten years on the magical island of Kaua'i, Hawai'i. While in the islands, I was a professional photography educator, and tour guide. I taught and led landscape photography classes, workshops, and tours for ten wonderful years. Because of this, teaching became my first love in the professional world. My main goal for tour and workshop guests, was for it to be a lifelong memory for them, and I was incredibly successful in making that a reality. I can confidently say that I showed many thousands of people the beauty of the islands, taught them how to use their cameras and how to compose great images, and shared local history, language, botany, and culture with them.This love of interacting with the public, and my gift of teaching, lead me into a wonderful sales career when I relocated to Central Pa in 2019. My first job was working as a bartender for a truly wonderful craft brewery called Twisted Bine. While there, the owners came to know me as the person who made first time customers into lifelong regulars. My goal was to make everyone feel at home, and I was very good at it. I was also being trained to be a brewing assistant to our two master brewers, so as to move out of bartending, and more into the corporate world of craft beer. At one point, many of our staff were regulars of mine that we hired, because they loved TBBC so much!I was then offered a position at Breakaway Farms in Mount Joy, who could give me a steady job in the middle of the pandemic. My job as Market and Sales Manager was running our farmer's markets out in the Lehigh Valley, where we had thriving customer base. We sold pastured meats and craft charcuterie, and my goals of educating first time visitors, and turning them into lifelong regulars of our company were accomplished to great effect. Helping customers to be the 'hero' in their own culinary adventure, was such a truly rewarding feeling, and I have made many more hundreds of customers have become lifelong friends of mine. The company increased revenue and customer retention by over 30% while I was the manager.My love of teaching, and building lasting bonds with customers has translated into a deep love of sales.Expertise: Revenue Growth, Team Building, Educating, Customer Service, Problem Solving Brand Exposure, Customer Retention, Critical, Thinking, Direct Sales, Customer Relationship Building, Sales Growth, Culinary Expertise
