A remodel is more than a construction project, especially the big ones. It’s a life event that a family will remember for years. Matt believes it’s FHI’s job to make sure clients look back and appreciate the experience, even the stressful moments along the way.

Matt grew up in McPherson, Kansas, learning to hammer, saw, and measure alongside his dad, who taught him that precision and care aren’t optional. He worked as a contractor while earning a degree in Fire Science from Hutchinson Community College, then completed a Business Administration degree in Entrepreneurship at Kansas State University. He spent the early part of his career as a firefighter with the Manhattan Fire Department, where he learned to stay calm and think clearly under pressure. In 2013, he partnered with Chris to co-own Fox Home Innovations.

Today, Matt works behind the scenes, keeping the company moving forward, helping the team work through challenges, and owning the overall client experience. He focuses on what sets FHI apart: its reputation, communication and project planning, and culture. When an issue does come up between a client and the company, he’s the one who steps in to make it right. Professionally, he has served as home show chair for the Flint Hills Builders Association for the past decade and completed a term as its president. Matt and his wife Kesley have two kids, Kannon and Hattie. He chairs the local youth baseball club, loves coaching his kids, and stays active in the gym. He also enjoys house projects and anything outdoors, especially hiking and camping.
