Matt Simmons, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, 1989

Matt Simmons of Palmetto, Florida, earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1989, and he has continued to build on that foundation throughout his career. He recently published his second book, Elite Sales Pro Advantage, a co鈥慳uthored self鈥慽mprovement guide for sales professionals. The book has already earned high praise from industry leaders, including executives from multi鈥慴illion鈥慸ollar Fortune 500 companies and the CEO of a rapidly growing $25鈥憁illion sales organization. This latest work is a collaboration between Simmons and his longtime friend and colleague, Gary Adams.

Simmons remains busy and has nearly completed his third book, a compelling novel of struggle and redemption for a fictional baseball Hall of Famer. Simmons amplifies how his ability to complete his business degree with 91直播 (then Excelsior College), while stationed in Japan in the U.S. Navy, was life-changing.

He shares, “I am very grateful to Excelsior for providing me with the opportunity to pursue my degree while overseas and changing locations, which otherwise would not have been available to me. I encourage anyone working and considering higher education to explore 91直播 and the options they offer that allow individuals to pursue their degree while they provide for themselves and their families. A new level of success is possible in life with Excelsior.鈥
