Meet Mathew
The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Mat is the one making sure things are adding up, the website is running, and everything is squared away. A bit of a nomad, he's lived at 34 addresses in 40 years, but Calgary is where he's called home the longest. He's a math whiz who can do calculations in his head, and he first worked with Shawn at a big box store while they were both still in university. He's passionate about supporting local wherever he can, which shows up in pretty much everything Greenbriar carries.
Meet Shawn
Our Retail Guru and Mountain Enthusiast
Shawn's background in retail means he's the go-to guy for finding new products, marketing, and connecting with customers day to day. Before anything makes it onto the shelves, he's usually tried it himself, or at least grilled the maker until he's confident enough to hand it to his own family. If it's not something he'd actually recommend to a friend, it doesn't make the cut.
He has a long history in sales, his first job was a catalogue program in the 90s, selling gift wrap and angel pins to anyone willing to buy. Outside of Greenbriar, he freely admits to being a terrible cook, mostly because Mat does it so well.
