Matti-Lynn Arvidson serves as the Customer Relationship Management Specialist overseeing multiple projects related to H2H’s website, database, and overall function.
Matti is a two-time graduate of Kent State University with a BA in Public Communication and a BFA in Musical Theatre. In 2020, Matti became the Apprenticeship Coordinator for the Akron Area Electrical JATC. There, she grew an appreciation for the trades (and wished someone would have told her at 18 that you don’t have to go into college debt to have an amazing career).
Matti has a passion for serving those who served our country. Her friend and mentor, Doc, used to sit and tell stories of his time spent serving in the Vietnam War. In 2019, Doc was invited on a trip hosted by Honor Flights Columbus, Inc. whose mission is to honor America’s veterans from WWII through the Vietnam War with a trip to Washington D.C. to visit their service and war memorials. When the veterans return from D.C., they are met with thunderous applause from hundreds of people waiting to welcome them home. One of Matti’s most prominent memories is watching Doc walk off his Honor Flight with tears of joy and pride streaming down his face and arms spread wide to give her a giant hug. Since then, she’s been dedicated to serve those who sacrifice everything for the red, white, and blue.
Matti is from Cambridge, OH but currently lives in Chicago, IL with her husband, David. She spends most of her time reading books about weird history, running her scrapbook business, listening to true crime podcasts, and cuddling her fur babies: a blind rescue cat named Fluffy Pants and a barn kitten turned city cat named Chai.
