President/CEO & Co-Founder
Matt’s entrepreneurial mindset is the backbone behind the core of FreightCenter. His natural ability to build relationships along with tenacity when working with various carriers during the beginning steps of the company’s existence has transformed the company to where it stands today.

Growing up, Matt’s family moved around quite a bit due to career changes and promotions, though he considers his strongest ties to be with the Mid West and New York.

His vast understanding of the freight industry, and savvy computer, technical, and networking skills have proven to be a big asset for the business.
