Bio
Danny Zavala
It’s rare that you come across someone as ethical and people-oriented as Matt. I had the pleasure of working with Matt and collaborating with him on several projects (as well as use him as a sounding board). I was always in awe of Matt's ability to use his emotional intelligence when a normal person would lose their... stuff. Any employee would be lucky to have Matt as a leader on their team.

I worked closely with Matt over a period of 8 months as a consultant to Gondola Skate. In my experience there, I found Matt to be extremely hard working, organized, a strategic thinker, and passionate about his work and life in general. He's also a very nice guy and easy to work with. I would be very happy to work with Matt anytime.
