Mat - Sales and Vehicle Marketing
Mat’s automotive experience began with Shifted in 2018. Before that, he worked as a hospitality manager, beverage salesman, and a manual laborer. He learned to drive manual on an old "three on the tree" Chevrolet farm truck. He doesn’t have a dream car but wouldn’t mind a late 80’s Land Cruiser or an early 90’s Jeep Wagoneer, and the most fun he’s had driving a vehicle was during an emergency vehicle operations course in college. When not leading the sales efforts at Shifted, Mat enjoys travelling and outdoor activities with his family.
