Our hero, Matt Hussey, grew up in the Pittsburg area and graduated from the University of Pittsburg with a degree in Mechanical Engineering (side note his minor is Nuclear Engineering which means he loves a challenge). In this episode Matt walks us thru his career and offers insight and advice to what has helped him grow professionally.  He embraced new opportunities that opened a door to make an impact in the electrical industry.  He speaks  about how we shouldn't let our degrees dictate our futures and how, with his mechanical background, he knew he could bring value to the electrical industry.

Man was he right!  Matt now leads the effort at Eaton in their low voltage motor control center solutions and has been involved in several areas of innovation.

He also is an active social media influencer and proudly unpacks how his solutions are making an impact for others.  He was instrumental in starting a social media campaign called "Factory Floor Friday" where he and other Eaton team members share awesome insight to solutions in production (talk about an inside look)! 

In his time away from work Matt enjoys home bar tendering and has the secret to making the best "Old Fashioned" you ever tasted.  He also enjoys making his own bar-b-que and for those in North Carolina you can relate to how big a treat that is.

Matt is making industry better every day and it's his type of leadership, vision and inspiration that will continue to lead America as a leader of manufacturing and engineering in the future!
