Matt Schneider - Advisor

Personal Note:

I was born and raised in Southwest Wisconsin and attended Southwest Tech after graduation from Riverdale High School. I earned two associate degrees at Southwest Tech with one being in Marketing and the other in Business Management. I used my education to start my career in marketing and sales in the tourism industry. Working in tourism was an amazing experience as I was able to travel all over North America promoting Wisconsin as a tourist destination.

I have worked in advising and recruitment roles at Southwest Tech since 2013. Since then, I have gone on to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Administration and Master’s Degree in Business and Human Relations. I also helped create the Southwest Tech Clay Target Team, which has won two USA College Clay Target national championships and many other awards, and I very much enjoy coaching our students. Southwest Tech was an amazing start for me on my higher educational journey, and I am excited to share and help guide you through all the great opportunities that Southwest Tech offers.
