Matt Bright

Matt's leadership, authenticity, and dedication have made a lasting impact on our team. His nominator spoke highly of his influence and the positive energy he brings to the workplace, highlighting why he is so deserving of this recognition.


Here’s what Daniel Wangel, Senior Process & Quality Engineer had to say about Matt:

"Matt is a role model for myself and several others due to the way he carries himself and guides the team to follow in his footsteps to build the highest quality products on the market. Matt is very authentic and brings joy to the work environment—deeming himself the Lord of Quality Control and consistently adding his own flair to his quality announcements during Mission Control Board meetings as well as individually with teammates so much that people look forward to what Matt will say in the meeting. Matt has spearheaded the effort to train people to be true craftspeople who take extreme pride in the work performed and feel the sense of accomplishment no matter what tasks they perform. Matt is always looking for ways to improve himself and his abilities while being the first to admit he does not know everything and is not perfect. I believe Matt truly embodies the Storyteller culture and we are beyond fortunate to have him on our team."


Matt’s commitment to quality, his unique approach to leadership, and his involvement both within our team and in the broader community truly embody the Storyteller spirit. His influence and dedication not only enhance our work environment but also inspire us all to strive for excellence.
