Welcome to Matlockville!

Welcome to Matlockville!

 

I’m Michael Matlock, an experienced College Associate Professor and Corporate Executive with Sales, Marketing, Management and Oversight prowess. I retired as Vice President and Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer from a Fortune 500 Company and currently serve as a Freelance Writer, Public Speaker, and Consultant. I am a graduate of  Lincoln University, B.S. The Ohio State University M.A. and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, PhD.

 

My writings draw from a blend of acquired perspectives and impactful learnings accumulated through my lifetime. Born in 1953 and raised in Jackson, MS , my early years exposed me to the civil rights movement and subsequently   captured a profound depiction of hardship ushering in opportunity. While too young to participate at the peak of the movement, I have benefited immensely from the advances and achievements of that period. 

 

Through the content I share, I hope to convey a plethora of amazing experiences that are rooted in where I grew up, opportunities and challenges I’ve faced along the way, and the rewarding relationships I’ve built during my journey as a Husband, Father, Grandfather, Sibling, Uncle, Mentor and Son.

 

As an early retiree , I now spend my time golfing, gardening and now, distilling my years learnings and experiences into words and stories to share with you, the readers of Matlockville.
