About Matt
As a General Manager with 22 years in the automotive industry, I'm a results-driven leader who believes in modeling the behaviors I expect from my team. Born and raised in Orlando, Florida, I'm passionate about building winning cultures and fostering exceptional customer service. I'm married to my wonderful wife, Lauren, and together we have two children, Reagan(10) and Grant(8). We enjoy spending our time together on the weekends attending church, playing sports, and searching new places in Atlanta for fun. My educational background includes Merritt Island High School in Merritt Island Florida, Erskine College in Due West South Carolina, and NADA University. I'm a fan of Nick Saban's leadership style and enjoy the challenge of building successful teams. I'm also a John Maxwell Leadership Coach and hold certifications from the Association of Finance and Insurance Professionals (AFIP) and NADA Dealer Academy. I was recognized by Automotive News as one of the 40 Under 40 in the industry. Every dealership I've led has achieved high employee and customer satisfaction. This success stems from our focus on transparency, providing an exceptional guest experience, and prioritizing our customers' time and needs. My experiences include working at McDonough Hyundai, Asbury Automotive, Berkshire Hathaway, and Hendrick Automotive. In my leadership role, I focus on empowering and supporting the growth of others, creating environments where people can thrive. I played soccer, tennis, basketball and ran track in high school, then played soccer and tennis in college. I'm passionate about developing people, and I enjoy discussing sports, economics, and leadership lessons. I approach my work with integrity, dedication, and a commitment to excellence.
