01 — Marketing
A decade as an executive scaling lead generation engines for hundreds of home service pros — builders, remodelers, roofers and the trades. Seven-figure pipelines built from cold.
The thesis is simple: buy attention profitably, say something worth hearing, and convert it into booked jobs. No vanity metrics. Just compounding revenue.
✦ Paid + organic lead engines
✦ Offer & brand positioning
✦ Funnels that survive contact with reality
✦ Pipeline → revenue accountability

02 — AI
Matt builds AI into the messy middle of the customer journey — the 5-minute follow-up, the 2am SMS, the qualification call that used to require a human at 9am.
The result: response times measured in seconds, double-digit lifts in close rate, and executives who finally get their evenings back.
✦ AI-powered speed-to-lead under 5 min
✦ Automated SMS & email nurture
✦ Voice agents for qualification
✦ Pipeline intelligence & forecasting
03 — Leadership
17+ startups. Wins, blow-ups, comebacks. Matt leads a distributed team of marketers, engineers and creatives at United Foundry — and coaches executives on building cultures that compound.
His leadership lens is executive-first: clarity over charisma, systems over heroics, and the discipline to keep showing up when the market punishes you.
✦ Distributed team leadership
✦ executive-first culture design
✦ Coaching founders & GMs
✦ Building for the next generation
