Matt launched his first company, Commercial Fleet Financing, in 1995 with a phone, a folding table and the unyielding confidence of a single client, a trucker. Fast forward 23 years and CFF has funded over $1 billion in transportation equipment with annual business of $150,000,000+. As a speaker audiences resonate with his tough-minded and business battle tested philosophies on “company culture”, skilling up and scaling up” and “finding your GRIT”. Matt’s latest book, YOU NEED MORE MONEY: Wake Up and Solve Your Financial Problems Once And For All has just been published by Penguin/Random House.
