He also acted, directed and taught theater (a start-up school - really!) for a decade. Matthew holds a PhD in Digital Media, an MFA in Directing, nine U.S. patents, and writes and speaks frequently.
Brad Nelson
Brad is the the voice of the @Starbucks twitter account. As a former barista, he uses the account to converse with coffee drinkers, much in the same way he used to in a store, but on a global scale. Previously, he worked in the team that developed in store media systems for Starbucks in the Entertainment group. In his spare time, he plays trumpet and keyboard in his band, The Preons, and enjoys spending time with his wife and two cats. His favorite coffee currently is Guatemala Antigua.
