About Matthew
Biography
I have a passion for working with individuals and businesses who value the non-homogenized contribution to society that independently-owned businesses supply. I also have always had a passion for music, and seeking new music, and I am fortunate enough to have been able to merge these passions into my career. If you are an entrepreneur looking to grow your business, a musician in need of legal advice, or a musician just looking for another set of ears, I would enjoy speaking with you.

"Those who cannot motivate themselves must be satisfied with a life of mediocrity." (Author Unknown). With EDGE Entertainment, I manage relationships with over 400 of the company's independently-owned retail customers, and solicit and negotiate direct distribution deals with artists and their management/labels. With Reinvent Retail, LLC, I drive sales of the company's saas-based point-of-sale solution for independent retailers. With Earley Law, LLC, I advise small businesses, entrepreneurs, and have a passion for working with individuals and businesses who value the non-homogenized contribution to society that independently-owned businesses supply. I also have always had a passion for music, and seeking new music, and am fortunate enough to have been able to merge these passions into my career. If you are an independent retailer seeking supply chain solutions; a music retailer seeking a deeper product line; an entrepreneur looking to grow your business; or a musician looking for another set of ears to listen to your art, I welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
