Hey y’all. I was born in California and raised in Arizona, but I got to Texas as quickly as I could.

I began working in the media while a junior in high school in Yuma, Arizona. By my senior year, I had three parttime jobs, writing a weekly article for the local paper, The Yuma Daily Sun, running a weekly shift on radio, and a News Photographer and Editor for television. After attending the University of Arizona, I returned to Yuma as New Producer and was later named Executive Producer. I later transitioned to the Production department as a Commercial Producer and Newscast Director.

Within a year, I had my first job offer from another market and state, from the family-owned station in Harlingen, Texas. I was able to move up the ranks in Harlingen, later running the Program, Promotion, Creative Services, Station Operations and News Departments. My teams have won numerous Awards from the Texas Association of Broadcasters, the Associated Press and local and regional creative groups.

I moved to sales to showcase my abilities and knowledge for my customers. I have worked for local stations in Texas, Arizona and Louisiana. I have also sold for the Televisa Group across the US/Mexican border. I enjoy training salespeople to take care of their clients. I am currently building our team in the Crossroads, and I am excited about what we can bring to the table for our current and future business partners. Overall, it will be good for the community. I attempt to conduct business using the same principles as my Northside Rotary Club.

Victoria, Texas is a great place for us to live. It puts Mary, my wife, and I in the middle of our immediate family; kids, grandkids, parents, and siblings, most within a three-hour drive.

If you see us, please ask before petting.

Matthew is a native Texan from the Rio Grande Valley.

After graduating from Sam Houston State University with a BFA in Advertising and Graphic Design, he transplanted to California working for a software company in Silicon Valley. There, Matt refined his skills as a Real-Time 3D modeler, which eventually led to his most exciting career, building 3D immersive training games for the military. He was unable to comment further, stating the ensuing consequences, of such action, would involve a personal metaphysical disentanglement from this plane of existence.

Following an unfortunate series of life events, it appeared the universe had a new set of plans for Matt. He returned home to Texas, and after a brief stint in Austin, he accepted a job with KIII, in Corpus Christi, as a Production Assistant.

…and that is where sales found him and pulled him over to the dark side, forever sealing his fate. Matt began his journey in sales, as an Account Manager, where his affinity for digital began to shine. It became obvious that he understood this digital stuff and was able to translate it for others. After almost 5 years as the Digital Account Manager, Matt was recruited to KXXV in Waco, Texas, to become their new Digital Sales Manager.

Kaylee is a native Victorian and proud University of Houston graduate, from which she earned a B.S. in Communication Sciences. Prior to joining the KAVU team, she worked in social media management and retail marketing. Her favorite part of the job is getting to know small business owners around the Crossroads area and being able to work with them to craft the right marketing strategy for their unique business. She is learning every day, so that she can stay up to date on the ever-changing landscape of the digital marketing world and provide her clients with the most effective campaigns.

Outside of work, you can find Kaylee living amongst a herd of chickens, ducks, horses, cows, and her two fur babies, Kase and Saige, the wild and rambunctious German Shorthaired Pointers.

As an Immigrant American and a proud US military veteran, I bring a unique perspective to everything I do. Alongside my love for fatherhood, I have passions in the art of professional dance and the thrill of exploring new destinations around the globe fueled by my passion for adventure and new experiences.

My journey into the world of advertising began at the age of 10 when I landed my first commercial gig on a military base in Okinawa, Japan. Fast forward to the present, and I'm thrilled to be embarking on a thrilling new career path. 

My mission? To help businesses, big and small, across Texas amplify their presence through the captivating realms of television and digital platforms. I'm beyond excited to dive headfirst into this exhilarating opportunity and create an impactful and enduring difference. Let's rev up and go full throttle!
