The life of Matt Vaessen is a winding path of exploration and reinvention. Originally from Green Bay, WI, Matt began his journey with the U.S. Army, where he developed skills in security management before transitioning to the world of film and media. His work in production and locations departments spans numerous documentaries, films, commercials, and TV shows.
Matt’s career took a new direction when he moved to Chicago and joined a then-small start-up called GrubHub, where he led a data management team. His professional journey also included stints in Central Illinois, Door County, WI, Chautauqua, NY, and San Diego, CA before returning to Chicago. Most recently, Matt joined Brighside Benefits, focusing on financial health and crisis support as a Customer Support Associate on the Community Resource and Research Team.
Outside of work, Matt is happily married to Adina, and together they share their home with two beloved cats, Ellie and Rowan. Matt enjoys life in Chicago’s Albany Park neighborhood, where he continues to embrace new challenges and adventures.
