About Matt Jones
About Matt Jones - I connect people and build things — businesses, ballfields, basketball courts, and better communities.By day, I’m scaling Harmer Consultants and our Harmer Family of staffing/search firms toward $100M in revenue, placing top-tier tech talent in high-impact roles. With two decades of experience in IT contract, IT staff augmentation, IT consulting, and IT project-based hiring, I know how to match great companies with game-changing professionals — and do it fast, at scale, and with integrity.By night (and often on Tuesdays), I’m the Treasurer of the League of Very Ordinary Gentlemen — a not-so-ordinary 501(c)(3) in Glenview. What started as a COVID-era softball league is now a full-blown community hub supporting youth sports, local charities, and legendary postgame cooler talk. I organized the systems, technology, and business processes while holding down shortstop every Tuesday night.Off the field or court, I’m proud to be married to Glenview’s MVP — my wife Katie — a Village Trustee and former School Board Member who’s been a driving force in our community. She’s a go-getter who leads with purpose and makes our town better every day. I’m also a proud #GirlDad to Savannah and Scarlett — two future CEOs in the making — and a firm believer that leadership starts at home. Whether I’m growing a business, coaching youth sports, or helping organize the next big community event, I’m all-in on building things that matter.
