Matt’s Important Links
Matt Glowacki was born in 1973 in Janesville, Wisconsin. His birth drew attention because even though he was healthy, he was born without legs. Matt received his higher education from his community involvement and received a B.A. Degree in Communications from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
Matt focuses his professional life on three of his own businesses: MOGO Wheelchairs, a very successful wheelchair building and sales business; Glow Music, a mobile disc jockey and entertainment service; and Myriad Communications, his speaking and consulting company. From 2008 through today, Matt has the honor of being the Most Booked College and University Diversity artist in the nation. This recognition came along with being nominated for Speaker of the Year and Best Diversity Artist of the year in 2009 and winning Best Diversity Artist in 2010 from Campus Activities Magazine, and being nominated again in 2012.
The second focus of his life is competitive sports. Matt earned his position on the USA Paralympic Team for Sit-Volleyball in June of 1998, after he participated in the World Championships, in Washington, D.C. He traveled and competed internationally with the team and attended the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, Australia, and the 2002 World Championships in Cairo, Egypt. Matt served as the alternate for the Paralympics in Athens in 2004.
In July of 2012, Matt married the love of his life, Shannon Rene Mason. It is a prefect match of passions because of how well their interests and expertise blend together, along with their personalities. They complement and challenge each other, and what is created is the best of what they both could ever ask of one another.
