What's your full name?

Matthew Richard Jarrett

What do you do at TJM and how long have you worked here?

I'm head of Production (Production Manager) I've worked here for one year and 3 months. I oversee all in-house orders such as screen printing, embroidery, and laser engraving.  I approve all final products before customers receive their orders, and also schedule all jobs to make sure products are shipped on time.

What's your favorite product that you've helped create?

Walking Dead shirts and hats.

What are your hobbies/interests outside of work?

Traveling, and I love to fish. Fresh and saltwater.

Tell us a little about your family?

I was raised by my awesome grandparents. They taught me the difference between needs and wants, and that hard work pays off.  I'm currently happily single.

What do you like most about living in central Florida?

I love that I'm so close to the water, an hour to the Gulf and an hour to the Atlantic. I'm also about 20 mins away from a bunch of crystal clear springs.

Any exciting things planned in the future?

Hopefully, having a successful clothing brand. Wet Threads is a Florida lifestyle brand that I co-founded in 2010. Keeping it USA-made is the ultimate goal.

Anything else you'd like to tell the world about?

I was raised in Los Angeles. We lived right across the street from the L.A. Harbor marina. That's where my love for the ocean started. I also loved to play basketball, and watch the Lakers. I moved to Ocala when I was 12.
