Originally launched in the mid 70's, Matthew has pursued an aggressive growth strategy, while delaying as much as possible any substantive exit events.

Previously, Matthew was a recreational sky diver, roller coaster enthusiast, and racer of automobiles. Finding these pursuits lacking in sufficient excitement, he and his wife Kelly produced a son, Ian, and a daughter, Cora, who together provide ample levels of joy and adventure.
