Matty Workman

How I Began My Journey: I was born and raised in the small town of State College, PA. My first job was making cheesesteaks, and my favorite part was the customer interaction. The free cheesesteaks didn’t hurt either! I went on to attend Penn State University (We Are!) while working full time. I am very proud to say, with a lot of hard work and support, I am the first person in my family to graduate college.

I found out at an early age that people are my passion. Everyone has a story, and I love listening. I knew that if I was going to be successful in life, my “Why” would have to be about what I love: people.

This “Why” brought me to my first job out of college, where I sold eDiscovery as an account manager for a large regional player in Washington, D.C., and California. Later, I went to work for Apple, in the role of a business manager, selling computers to companies. I was lucky to gain some of the best customer-focused training in the world, and to this day, I continue down the path of forward thinking along with a “never settle” attitude. I do whatever it takes to make it happen for my clients.

The Home Project That Brought Me to Planet Depos: In what feels like a lifetime ago, my wife, oldest daughter, and I were living in the northeast D.C. area. We lived in an old house, and a faucet decided to suddenly explode. After realizing I was in over my head trying to fix it, I enlisted a friend’s help, in exchange for the Capital’s best Italian hoagie at A. Literi’s. While waiting in line, I spotted Billy DiMonte, managing partner and one of the founders of Planet Depos (this man knows a good sandwich!). As past acquaintances from working within the D.C. legal market, we began chatting and agreed to have drinks later that week to discuss a potential opportunity. Over drinks we talked about life, goals, family, and our “Why.” Everything aligned, and on a leap of faith, I decided to take the plunge into the deposition jungle. I have been with the company now for twelve years and carry on the same mission I always have – to build relationships, earn your trust, and, hopefully, your business.

My Family: I have a rock star wife, Laura, who I am very proud of and who offers me unwavering support in my quest to constantly be better in every aspect of my life. We live in Virginia and have three fantastic kids: Cora, Grace, and Jack. I also strive to teach them that no matter what they do, to try and be the best they can be, and to realize that people and our relationships with them are at the center of everything.

Hobbies: I am a die-hard college football fan! My family and I also enjoy making our own pizzas on Friday night, and on the weekend, I love experimenting on my Big Green Egg. We are very big into baseball and softball in our house and you can catch me at car shows on the weekend as well.

In Short: I couldn’t do any of this without my friends and clients – thank you! If you need any help with your depositions, please feel free to reach out at any time. And by the way, referrals are the best compliment I can receive!
