A Little About Me
Collaboration is at the center of everything.
Matthew Barcus has been on a lot of teams. In his 10+ years of experience playing hockey, baseball, tennis, and more, he became well accustomed to putting his time, effort, and body on the line for his teammates. Every season brought a new opportunity and challenge to work with new peers, coaches, and environments. Every win and loss gave Matthew an opportunity to become a better player, teammate, and leader, especially during the years he served as captain.
After high school, the purpose of the teams changed — bands, recording groups, and management teams — but there was nothing new to Matthew about working together with others to make great things happen. He was quickly appointed president of the student radio station at Capital University, where he has helped develop and lead live music events utilizing the campus's advanced Dante network. Outside of class, he works in professional pit orchestras, pop groups, and function bands.
Matthew thrives in high-pressure environments where collaboration, improvisation, and determination are absolute requirements. He especially enjoys opportunities to use his leadership experience to guide others toward a common goal. He is always excited to get started on a new project and looks forward to seeing what he can accomplish with your team.
