A licensed architect and LEED accredited professional, Matt joins the team as a Project Manager with a Master’s degree in architecture from Yale University and over 12 years of high-quality architectural design experience in several U.S. regions.

Bringing his experience and design thinking to the table, Matt is excited to grow ALW’s capacity for doing great work and for developing strong relationships in the Tallahassee community. Please join the firm in welcoming Matt and the Persinger family to Tallahassee!
Why I joined the Chamber
“In my line of work, success is dependent on cultivating relationships, which can be difficult without a common thread on which to build. The Chamber of Commerce has been the common thread that allowed me in the door where I could demonstrate the value I bring to the relationship. I recently began a working relationship with Anna Duren from Walter Green born entirely out of a connection first made by the Chamber. The opportunities afforded by my company’s Chamber membership opened doors for me in ways I have not seen with other business development strategies. In banking, familiarity and trust come first, and that usually has to develop over time. This is why the Chamber works for me – it allows me to dedicate the time and put the relationship before the ask.”
