About Matt Sullivan: Matt is the chief operating officer at Short Order Production House, Delaware’s largest video production company. He was a first-career journalist, working as a reporter and editor in upstate New York before relocating to Delaware to become the founding editor and general manager of Spark Magazine.

During that time, he produced award-winning content and provided strategic communications for the Greater Wilmington Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Wilmington Alliance, Reading Assist, the World Trade Center Delaware, the Delaware Coalition Against Gun Violence, and the Delaware Charter School Network (among others).
