Having spent six years in the Navy as a Submarine Officer, Matt led projects such as engine room upgrades involving teams of both military, and civilian personnel. Eventually transitioning to TTM, Matt was promoted to Quality Manager where his role was to identify and deliver projects and process improvements across the entire company. Throughout the process of delivering projects both within the military and beyond, he became an expert at seeing the big picture, asking the right questions, identifying opportunities for improvement, knowing who to pull into the project, and what tools to use to help identify the issues and document the success of the intervention. His proudest accomplishment was the initiation of a zero defect program where he applied lean six sigma principles, setting the team up with the framework for longstanding success.
