“To be a good lender, you have to be a good listener. I enjoy hearing people’s stories and paying attention to the particulars. Those insights help me match their unique situations with solutions.”
Background
I have worked in financial services for 13 years, relocating to Garner from Kill Devil Hills in late 2020. While on the Outer Banks, I served as a market president for Wells Fargo, as well as in other business banking positions with Southern Bank and Towne Bank.
More About Matthew
Education
East Carolina University, Bachelor of Science in Education with a concentration in social studies and science
Hometown
I have moved around North Carolina a bit and have called Winston-Salem, Greenville and the Outer Banks home.
Outside the Office
In a nutshell, I am a family man with a big appreciation for art, science, history and nature. A longtime drummer, I enjoy a wide range of music—especially played live. I am also an avid reader, everything from Stephen King to science journals and lesser known stories from history.
