Dave Sanchez
I've worked with Matthew for 5 years now, In those 5 years Matthew has opened my eyes to so many area's of Social Media and so many ways to create new solutions for new problems my clients are having. With the print industry changing so much on a daily basis it's nice to have a solid sounding board with creative idea's. I look forward to the future of print and publishing with Matthews creative ideas.

Matt and I worked together as peers in the education group at what is now Ricoh Production Print Solutions. I also got to spend some time with him out of the office at Print 09. Both on and off the job, I was impressed with Matt's character and his understanding of the print industry, especially the print-for-profit marketspace. I believe he brought a wealth of print sales knowledge to the group, and I'd gladly work with him again.
