Meet Madison Sales Manager Matt Utz

We sat down with Matt Utz, Sales Manager and Weyerhaeuser Engineered Wood Products designer, at our Madison location. Matt has worked for Cardinal for 21 years. Although Matt’s typical day includes checking on customers’ projects and needs, sourcing products, plan takeoffs, scheduling deliveries, and paperwork, Matt’s favorite part of his job is helping customers solve problems. Matt also cites assisting the customers as the most important thing he has learned over the years at Cardinal.

When Matt isn’t at work, he enjoys building and construction projects. Anything BUT wallpaper. We then asked Matt to tell us something about himself that would surprise us. And wow, Matt responded that he lived in Africa for a time when his parents were missionaries.

Matt was having a busy day and was kind enough to answer our questions, but as he was headed back to work, we asked Matt when he was his happiest? His response. “Have a positive outlook, and you can be happy all the time.” Words of wisdom. Thanks, Matt!
