Matthew Freeman

Sales experience specialist
I am a creative/business minded entrepreneur at heart who likes growing with teams and has a natural talent for bonding with co-workers and clients alike. I have founded and directed a successful multimedia start-up in Springfield Missouri that I managed for a little over 5 years before selling the business in 2018. My family and I relocated to Portland at that time and have since been enjoying the beauty of this area. I like hiking/biking and exploring this beautiful countryside and its been a blast so far! I am looking to find a good fit for a career focused in creative solutions, and consumer satisfaction.
