Matthew Ritchie
Knoxville
Summary
I am a happily married father of six, accomplished musician, songwriter, and avid outdoorsman. After 17 successful years in the automotive sales industry and 2 successful years in real estate I am looking to start a new career in finance while maintaining a career in real estate. I feel that i can still pursue a career in real estate working weekends and evenings with the more flexible schedule that the banking industry allows and use my knowledge and skills acquired in both the automotive and real estate industry to have a better work/life balance and still produce the income to support our large family. I am a very driven and self motivated individual who strongly believes in teamwork and lifting up my fellow co-workers. The clients' needs are, and always have been my top priority and will always be my biggest key to success.
