Coleman McDonald

CEO

I have the best job in the world – leading a dedicated team of professionals that help keep workers safe and employers compliant. I joined Work Wear Safety Shoes in 2016 as President/CEO. Before that I was a corporate consultant, and I also had the privilege to serve 11 years as a Fighter Pilot in the Air Force. I’m a Fort Worth native and a proud graduate of Baylor University. Let me know how Work Wear Safety Shoes can help you manage your safety shoe program.

Matthew Hudson

CXO

As the Chief Experience Officer, I make sure that anything that impacts the Customer’s Experience with our company is remarkable every customer – every time. I have over 30 years in retail, myself and love the fact that we are focused on the wellness of our customers and not just their safety. I’m a member of the ASTM Committee (F13) on footwear, have authored 4 books on retail and have a PhD in Organizational Behavior. But what’s really important is my family. I have a son (much smarter than me) who is a controller of an oil and gas firm in Texas and 3 elementary aged daughters.
