THE FACES OF KIRBY-SMITH

Kirby-Smith hires Matt Nelson as sales & operations manager for St. Louis

Matt Nelson, Sales & Operations Manager

Kirby-Smith Machinery Inc.’s newly-hired Matt Nelson, sales & operations manager, will be responsible for St. Louis’ branch operations, including oversight of its parts, service, sales and rental departments. Nelson brings a strong understanding of the greater Missouri construction market due to his experiences as a general contractor, commercial carpenter, and director for Terramac.

Jeff Weller, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Kirby-Smith, believes Nelson is a true “renaissance man” with the abilities and character necessary to ignite new life into the St. Louis location. “Matt has achieved amazing marks in engineering in his career despite not being papered in it. He is a devoted father with three children who have all pursued engineering because of his example. I also think of how Matt used his background as a carpenter to build a 23-acre homestead where his family could thrive and grow. In my opinion, Matt will build a new legacy for Kirby-Smith in St. Louis in much the same way — with ample amounts of patience, teaching and a strong vision for success. We are fortunate to have him join our team.”

Nelson takes great pride in joining Kirby-Smith and embraces the opportunity to engage the St. Louis construction community. “I am very excited to become part of the Kirby-Smith family and to work with the highly-skilled team already in place in St. Louis,” said Nelson. “By striving to be an indispensable resource for our customers new and old, together we are going to reach new levels as a premier dealer for the area.” ■
