Bio

My name is Eric Mattson. I'm a Seattle-based entrepreneur who spends his free time studying social media, traveling the world in an effort to perfect my Spanish & Chinese, running long distances, napping frequently and drinking great coffee.

Prior to my current gig, I was a freelance marketing & strategy consultant. Before that, I managed direct marketing, marketing research, and marketing analytics for SanMar, a fast-growing and award-winning clothing wholesaler located near Issaquah, WA. And before SanMar, I was an analyst at Lake Partners, a boutique strategy consulting firm in downtown Seattle.

I'm a proud graduate of the Honors Program at the University of Washington. While there, I earned dual degrees in Business Administration and Mathematics thanks to scholarships from Washington State and Intel. I also "cut my teeth" with internships at Intel, Henley Management College (UK), Gear.com (now part of Overstock.com) and the Investment Banking Group of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray.
