MATT THOMPSON
I was born an Air Force brat, and even lived in Guam for a bit. My family and I eventually touched down in Columbus, Ohio. After graduating from Ohio State, I moved to Cleveland to promote everything from paint rollers and roller coasters to big banks and Big Macs. Won plenty of awards, sold a lot of products. Still do.
