Matt started part time with Habitat while attending nursing school in July 2012. He continued to take care of the bookkeeping after he graduated nursing school. He eventually left his RN Career because of his love for Habitat and came to work for the Henderson office full-time as the Operations Manager, overseeing operations over the ReStore in April of 2018. As Henderson Habitat has grown since 2018, he is now the Chief Operations Officer working along side the Director of Development, Shadley Stone and the Executive Director, Britney Smith. Matt has a passion to help the affiliate achieve its full potential through strategic planning and financial oversight.

Shadley started with Habitat as a volunteer helping run the ReStore and assisting with the fundraisers like the Annual Tri-Fest 5K Race held in April of each year. She came to Habitat with over 11 years of mortgage lending experience. She put this experience to work in her role as the Director of Homebuyer Services to create a new Habitat Partner Family Mortgage Program, helping make the fear of homeownership a thing of the past. She purchased her first home in 2005 as a young, single mother and has also taken that first time homebuyer experience she learned over the past 20 years to help create a Sweat Equity Program that includes home educational classes, hands on experience, community involvement activities and events to help prepare each family for this life changing process as they work thru the program. Shadley also has coordinated the Annual Tri-Fest 5K Run and Habi-Tot Trot events downtown each year as our main fundraiser until the pandemic happened. During the COVID shutdown, she helped with creating the first of what has become Henderson Habitat's LARGEST fundraising event since 2019. Kentucky is very well known as bourbon country and it has helped create so many more opportunities for us to help more families than ever before! Be sure to check the website in July to see what we have to raffle off for our 9th Bourbon Raffle and the largest one to date too!

Shadley has a passion for helping others want to make the best life decisions and create obtainable goals for themselves. She also has some mad skills when it comes to helping people build or rebuild credit and maintain a healthy budget once they buy their new Habitat home.
Our staff here at HFHH want each of our partner families to succeed! By helping provide a community partnership and the tools to succeed, we continue our mission of building homes and building hope!

None of this would be possible without the AWESOME staff, board members, volunteers, donors, sponsors, grantors and of course our wonderful ReStore shoppers! We could not ask to be surrounded by a better Habitat family!
