Mejia What skiils, training or experience do you possess for the committee(s) for which you seek appointment? I have worked in numerous fields over the yeazs. My experience ranges from doorman at a downtown hotel to renovating the State Theater in Minneapolis to co-managing mitlions of investors doliars to running pet food stores. My experience in the hospitality industry taught me the value of customer service. I learned how to deal with people. I found that my better days were ones where my guests left feeting better than when they had come. At the same time, I couldn't serve everyone all the time. Priorities needed to be set and tasks juggled. In my years as an IBEW 292 electricians apprentice, I worked on lazge projects like the Matl of America. I had the opportunity to help install cameras and ramp meters along 35W. My favorite project was Yhe renovation of State TheaYer in Minneapolis. The blueprints for the electrical system were long gone and we had to figure it out as we worked. All these projects required teamwork and cooperation to get the job done. I was not leader on any of these jobs, but I certainly Iearned from them. T have always had an entrepreneurial drive to build a business. I had the opporiunity to do just that when I joined Pet Central Station. I opened one new store and soon took over managing another. As a new business, we struggled with cash flow, operating expenses and budgets. I became a master in the art of managing cash flow to make it all work. I left with a keen understanding of how a retail business operates, the necessity of creating and following a budget and the importance leadership. I joined my mothers financial planning practice in 1995. The business is centered on advising family business owners and their families on issues such as business succession, legacy planning and investments. My job is split between marketing the business and anatyziag data. I have Iearned how to filter, organize and analyze an enormous amount of data. I then use ihis boiled down data to make recommendations upon which an entire family's future rests. I am an analyst with a sense of humor, that can convey things in layman's terms, build a consensus on actions to be taken and manage the process of implementing the recommendations. o t _aaG Matthew 7. Mejia Reasons for your interest in this particular committee: I bought my first house in SL. Paul in 1997. I have lived in St. Paul oa and off over the last 12 years. On a whim, my business partner and I decided to attend a St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce(SPACC)/Good Mornin� St. Paul event in January of this year. Mayor Coleman was the speaker. We were impressed with the energy in the air and all that St. Paul has going on. We looked at each other and dzcided St. Paul is the place to be. Our business w�ill be moving to St. Paul on November 1, 1993. My business partner recently sold her home and is actively lookin� £or a home in St. Paul. I am a firm believer that if a person wants to improve quafity of life he/she must be invoived. My fiancee and I serve as block ciub captains. I am an active member of SPACC, serving as an Ambassador on the Sma1i Business Services committee. I live in the Summit-University neighborhood and nur business �vil1 open at 420 Summit Avenue. One of our favorite activities is walking through the neighborhood looking at the beautiful homes and buildings in our azea. St. Paul is known for its large collection of Victorian homes. I would hate to see anything taken away from that by the careless use of our resources. It seems to me that planning committees are the framework upon which the future of a city is built. I would relish the challenge to pull to�ether so many varied interests in this city to build the vision of what St. Paul will be! ' In conctusion, I have bet my family' s future, my business and my personal future on what I believe St. Paui is and wili become. I do not intend to lose. I wili become as involved as possible to insure my dream for my family, business and my future. a � ..�.�� 675 Holty Avenue SL Paul, MN 55104 Matthew J.

Mejia What skiils, training or experience do you possess for the committee(s) for which you seek appointment? I have worked in numerous fields over the yeazs. My experience ranges from doorman at a downtown hotel to renovating the State Theater in Minneapolis to co-managing mitlions of investors doliars to running pet food stores. My experience in the hospitality industry taught me the value of customer service. I learned how to deal with people. I found that my better days were ones where my guests left feeting better than when they had come. At the same time, I couldn't serve everyone all the time. Priorities needed to be set and tasks juggled. In my years as an IBEW 292 electricians apprentice, I worked on lazge projects like the Matl of America. I had the opportunity to help install cameras and ramp meters along 35W. My favorite project was Yhe renovation of State TheaYer in Minneapolis. The blueprints for the electrical system were long gone and we had to figure it out as we worked. All these projects required teamwork and cooperation to get the job done. I was not leader on any of these jobs, but I certainly Iearned from them. T have always had an entrepreneurial drive to build a business. I had the opporiunity to do just that when I joined Pet Central Station. I opened one new store and soon took over managing another. As a new business, we struggled with cash flow, operating expenses and budgets. I became a master in the art of managing cash flow to make it all work. I left with a keen understanding of how a retail business operates, the necessity of creating and following a budget and the importance leadership. I joined my mothers financial planning practice in 1995. The business is centered on advising family business owners and their families on issues such as business succession, legacy planning and investments. My job is split between marketing the business and anatyziag data. I have Iearned how to filter, organize and analyze an enormous amount of data. I then use ihis boiled down data to make recommendations upon which an entire family's future rests. I am an analyst with a sense of humor, that can convey things in layman's terms, build a consensus on actions to be taken and manage the process of implementing the recommendations. o t _aaG Matthew 7. Mejia Reasons for your interest in this particular committee: I bought my first house in SL. Paul in 1997. I have lived in St. Paul oa and off over the last 12 years. On a whim, my business partner and I decided to attend a St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce(SPACC)/Good Mornin� St. Paul event in January of this year. Mayor Coleman was the speaker. We were impressed with the energy in the air and all that St. Paul has going on. We looked at each other and dzcided St. Paul is the place to be. Our business w�ill be moving to St. Paul on November 1, 1993. My business partner recently sold her home and is actively lookin� £or a home in St. Paul. I am a firm believer that if a person wants to improve quafity of life he/she must be invoived. My fiancee and I serve as block ciub captains. I am an active member of SPACC, serving as an Ambassador on the Sma1i Business Services committee. I live in the Summit-University neighborhood and nur business �vil1 open at 420 Summit Avenue. One of our favorite activities is walking through the neighborhood looking at the beautiful homes and buildings in our azea. St. Paul is known for its large collection of Victorian homes. I would hate to see anything taken away from that by the careless use of our resources. It seems to me that planning committees are the framework upon which the future of a city is built. I would relish the challenge to pull to�ether so many varied interests in this city to build the vision of what St. Paul will be! ' In conctusion, I have bet my family' s future, my business and my personal future on what I believe St. Paui is and wili become. I do not intend to lose. I wili become as involved as possible to insure my dream for my family, business and my future. a � ..�.�� 675 Holty Avenue SL Paul, MN 55104 Matthew J.
