About Mat Thomas

I have 15 years of professional experience writing for large companies, small businesses, magazines, consultants, agencies and nonprofits. ultraWriting connects the professionalism I learned working in the corporate world with the passion that inspired me as an advocacy journalist and nonprofit staff writer. I use that unique combination of knowledge, skills and dedication to serve my clients' needs.
