Matt Bates
Matt has been with ELI for over 5 years. He’s a self-described early bird but does enjoy his morning coffee to get his day started. Matt has a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing from Troy University and is currently a Sales Representative for BTC helping small business owners thrive. It’s not riding around on the back of a sanitation truck, which is what he wanted to be doing when he was a kid, but it still is an amazing career and we are blessed to have his talents and skills on our board.
Matt is married to his wife, Keri, and they have two children, James and Grace. He has been told he looks a little like the actor, Jonah Hill, and his favorite passport stamp is Costa Rica!
“I feel that the opportunities we are offering our (ELI) families have the ability to change lives and the families around them. It is the kind of thing that changes the way a neighborhood/ city looks.”
