Jay Shucart2nd Generation Owner – in our hearts forever.

 


Matt Shucart – Owner / President / Account Executive

Office: 314.872.7000 Ext: 204   Email: matt@apspromos.com
Matt grew up in the St. Louis area and went to college at Mizzou for Hotel and Restaurant Management.  After 16 plus years in the hospitality industry, he made his way to his forever home as the 3rd generation owner of Advertising Premium Sales.  And while he still enjoys cooking, you can regularly find him going to concerts, heading to Mizzou football games during the fall and getting to as many St. Louis Cardinals games as possible every summer.  Family has always been a big priority to Matt and it shows as a proud husband to his wife Jennee and the father of 3 – Eli, Lorelei and Andrew (one of them hopefully is the heir apparent). He’s often seen leaving the office heading to one of the many sporting events his kids are involved with.  
“Continuing to do what you’ve always done, will continue to get you what you’ve always got.”
