Following graduation, Matt attended Wyoming Institute of Technology and completed his associate degree in automotive technology, vehicle restoration, and collision repair. Matt returned to Sutton to assist in managing his father’s Zimmatic pivot irrigation company. Matt would continue to exemplify his technical knowledge, keen grasp on electrical and mechanical concepts and his Lambie “hands-on” “know-how” with successful positions as a Service Technician at Cyclonaire of York, NE and Kinder Morgan of Sutton. Matt had the opportunity to travel the world while at Cyclonaire and shared many of his travel stories. After 20 years with Kinder Morgan, Matt then retired. Following his retirement, Matt worked at the Nolde Center and Sutton Senior Center. Matt had several passions outside of work. He enjoyed being the fun Uncle, boating, camping, a love of the outdoors with his Chocolate Lab, Morgan, and always helping others. As a 20-year member of the Sutton Volunteer Fire Department, Matt started the SVFD Booters program and served as both Assistant Chief and Chief for many years. Matt also enjoyed Stock Car racing and was a frequent competitor at Motorsport Park in Hastings. A recent accomplishment, Matt won the Best of Show award as part of the 150th Celebration of Sutton’s car show for a 1941 Chevrolet he drove for the event. An honor he was proud to display.
