He is the consummate professional and he has always sought excellence in the materials and services this company delivers. Matt has the genuine respect and admiration of everyone in the firm. More importantly, he has a clear vision for our brand and our messaging, and he knows how to deliver it.”

“I count it a real blessing to work with the caliber of individuals we have here at The Plasencia Group. For a boutique firm such as ours, to be able to successfully handle the volume of deals we manage, at the pace we do, and at such a high degree of service and skill, speaks volumes about the way we go about our work on every facet of the process. I look forward to stepping into this new capacity with the firm and working to help the team be even more successful for our clients.” said Mr. Sinclair.

A native of St. Petersburg, Florida, Matt earned a degree in Visual Communications from Judson University outside Chicago. A die-hard Chicago Cubs fan since his youth, he looks forward to annual summer trips to the Midwest with his wife and two teen sons. Matt is a photographer, and enjoys old films, old books, and old music.
