Matt Barker was already a fantastic salesman selling various products to new customers across the country when he decided to try selling fresh roasted cinnamon glazed nuts at various events and venues. Matt saw a niche and had a strong gut feeling that roasting nuts on site would draw a crowd. He was right! Millions of customers have been drawn in by the aroma of cinnamon glazed nuts roasting in any venue, indoor or out, for over 26 years. Matt’s vast technical and mechanical knowledge and sales abilities have kept Totally Nutz running strong. He now spends the majority of his time at the corporate office managing the day to day operations of Totally Nutz. Matt and his wife, Yvette, reside in St George, Utah with their four wonderfully talented children.
