Matthew founded the nationally distributed Enlightened Grain Spirits Portfolio. Matt’s background in controlled substances and his understanding of the intricate multi-tiered tax and distributions structures that regulate and monitor the domestic alcohol industry provided him with a unique and valuable background to serve as strategic advisor and consultant to select private interest groups. His expertise within the legislative process was invaluable during the architecture, development and ongoing debate of Florida’s Amendment 2 Referendum as well as SB1030, or the 2014 Compassionate Use Act. Matt serves as our best practices expert in all aspects of company development, performance management, resource allocation and control practice areas.
