Testimonials

"Matt is a man of vision. He has developed a widely respected online community that provides great value to all of those that participate, and he understands how to help others in many ways."

Phill Grove, Owner, Love Austin Homes

"I met Matt about nine months ago in April 2008. Since then I've realized that he is a person who is not only genuinely selfless and community minded, but also a man with vision. Sounds lofty, right? Well, through his creation of door64, he has opened the door of opportunity for many people to participate in a social network of supportive people in the technology world. Through it, people have found jobs and made valuable connections. I've used it as a way to network and establish myself in Austin..."

Jay Fraser, President & CEO, Tracer Detection Technology Corp.

"I know Matt from door64.com and the Austin High-Tech LinkedIn Group. Matt is an energetic (tireless, non-stop) innovator... passionate about technology and technology enabled solutions.
