He has passion to serve the people in his community. He is a retired United States Marine of 20 years. The Corps is where he developed his work ethic and and drive to succeed and church is where he learned how to treat others and keep his heart Christ centered. His love for the outdoors started with being in the Boy Scouts and a earning the rank of Eagle. Matthew has a wonderful family that keeps him busy and grounded. He loves being a dad to three great kids and a husband to his beautiful wife. You may ask yourself, Why The Grounds Guys? I truly believe its because we C.A.R.E. We are professional and love what we do; there is no company as engaged as we are. When Matthew is not running the business, you can find him with his family at the beach, on the boat, or running down the side of the road getting in the morning PT. He can't wait to meet the next customer!
