Matt- Sales Representative and Crematory Operator
Matt grew up in Central New York. He was seeking a change of pace and moved to Tennessee in 2006, in search of their fabled 'Southern Hospitality'. He has over 25 years of experience in customer service and enjoys being able to assist pet owners in their hour of need by helping them with their loved one's final arrangements.
In his spare time Matt enjoys kayaking, camping, live music, and traveling. His love of riding roller coasters has brought him to 18 different countries so far and he was featured on the Travel Channel show "Insane Coaster Wars" during his trip to Japan. He really enjoys the comradery he has with his co-workers in the office and the veterinarian partners they work hand-in-hand with.
Mason - Sales Representative and Crematory Operator
Mason is a Tennesee native who has spent his whole life (excluding a brief stint in KY we don't hold against him), around the rolling hills of the West, the winding rivers of the middle, and the gorgeous mountains of the east. Mason grew up right on the banks of the TN river before moving to Murfreesboro and Nashville in 2007, respectively.
Mason is the father of two awesome boys and is usually found taking them on hikes, kayaking, and the occasional tabletop game night.
"I find pride in the opportunity I have been given to help those who have recently lost their family members. I strive to give as much compassion and respect to any pet as I would either of my children, because that's what makes this job so rewarding. I've worked many jobs in the past but I always seem to come back to the positions that are based around helping those around me through tough times, So I'm in the right spot."
