Personal Profiles: Jason Matthews
Not everyone can say they grew up in their dad’s footsteps and went on to purchase the family business and continue a tradition that began 35 years ago, but Jason Matthews of Matthews Motor Company has done just that.

“I’ve learned a ton from my dad,” says Matthews. “He’s a hard worker and he taught me how to work hard. We’d stay up really late around the kitchen table talking about business, selling cars…he also taught me how to go for it. He encouraged me to take [calculated] risks. If it’s something you’ve thought through and are passionate about, go for it.”
