Matt Summer

Vice President, Business Development

Matt became interested in College Admissions when he was a senior in high school and was recruited by Barbara Sams (currently a high school counselor at St. Louis Priory) to attend Westminster College (MO). While a student at Westminster, Matt was a student ambassador in the Admissions office. His senior year he did a business internship in the Admission office where his interest in college admissions was cemented. He did a research study with incoming students and parents, attended college fairs, learned the admission process and dabbled in marketing. Through his research study, he discovered the power of feedback and statistics in recruitment and marketing which lead him down the path that would be his life long career.

Upon graduation, Matt worked at The University of Tulsa as an Admission Counselor and Assistant Director of Admission. After four years he joined a higher education marketing firm. What appealed to him with this new role as a "vendor" was the opportunity to visit hundreds (eventually thousands) of college campuses and get a peek into their admission marketing. He joined Alloy Education in 2004 as the National Sales Director. He has since served as Vice President, Sales & Marketing, and is now Vice President, Business Development, responsible for overseeing the sales division while focusing on partnerships, new business development opportunities, and expanding Alloy Education internationally and into the Graduate market.

Matt spends much of his time traveling for business and pleasure in pursuit of American Airlines, Marriott, and American Express Points. Some might call it an addiction. He also enjoys spending his weekends with his partner Mike, Boxer Fritz, and horse, Luke.

Ken Snow

Ken's father instilled in him deference for education–his Dad said he would work until he had whiskers as long as his arm, if that's what it took to send him to college. Sure enough, Ken was his family's first college graduate, and it started a lifelong journey of sharing his passion for higher education.

Eighteen years of college admission work, interrupted by military service, provided Ken with a solid background of skills and understanding for marketing higher education. He has since been with Carnegie Communications (acquired by Alloy) and Alloy Education for 20 years, working with private and public colleges and universities in 10 states.

A healthy dose of family time balances his life, and other interests include church choir singing and an unflagging interest in sports and politics.
