Matthew Johnson was born and raised in Naperville, IL – just outside of Chicago. In high school he worked in his local grocery store and helped his mom with her landscaping business. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Arts Technology from Illinois State University: focused on graphic design, sound design, speaker design, live production website design and programming. After graduating he landed a job at a vinyl record distribution company and also worked on stage production for various performances throughout the city.
In 2014 Matthew moved to Los Angeles, CA and began working with a General Contractor using Building Information Modeling to better design, construct and manage their projects. Then in 2015 began working as a logistics coordinator with Amazon Prime now, and then in 2017 moved onto to a key role as an HVAC service coordinator. In 2019, Matthew joined Symphony to handle a similar role as a service coordinator, and eventually grew to handle much of the general office administration: implementing new procedures and systems to more efficiently handle these dual roles. When not on the job Matthew enjoys DJing, music production, field recording, hiking, camping and cooking.
