Matthew Hudson

CLO

As the Chief Learning 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 middle school daughters.

Andrew McDonald

MANAGING PARTNER

There is nothing more enjoyable than engaging with our great Work Wear team to take care of our customers’ safety footwear needs. I joined Work Wear Safety Shoes in 2016 as Managing Partner after spending my earlier years as an operator and consultant of small businesses based in Texas. My wife and our family are residents of Fort Worth; we enjoy spending our time away from work listening to live music and cheering on our Texas Tech athletic teams. We would love to partner with you to help keep you and your employees safe on the job—contact us today!
