About

Before founding Affinity Business Systems in 1999, Matt was the Western Area Business Development Manager for Datacard Corporation and ran the Denver Sales and Service office. While at Datacard, he worked on several enterprise identification management solutions, including a smart card-based portable electronic medical record project and government ID projects with the Colorado CoFRAC initiative, Colorado Bureau of Investigations, EPA, Bureau of Reclamation and Denver International Airport. Affinity Business Systems became RockWest Technology Group in 2004 as the result of a merger between 4 ID systems integrator companies in the southwest United States. In April of 2010, RockWest was acquired by the Identive Group and today is known as Multicard. Matt and his business partner, Hugo Garcia, reacquired Multicard in 2014 from Identive and the company is now privately held. Matt served as Chairman of the Datacard Dealer Advisory Council from 2001-2004 and served on the Identification Systems Group (ISG) Board of Directors from 2008-2011.
