An Army combat veteran and licensed General Contractor, Matt brings more than 35 years of hands-on construction experience to residential and commercial projects, combining disciplined leadership with technical knowledge and a commitment to professional construction standards.

Since founding Construction Corps in 2022, Matt has built the company around the principle that successful construction begins long before work starts on the jobsite.

By coordinating design, engineering, permitting, and construction within one organization, Matt helps create a more accountable process that prioritizes clear communication, informed decision-making, and practical construction solutions.
