It has continued to grow under Matt’s leadership and I know it will continue under his ownership,” said John Sonnhalter, rainmaker journeyman and founder of Sonnhalter. “I’m also excited to keep consulting for the agency during this transition.”

Sonnhalter recently moved from Berea, Ohio, to the historic Brownell School building on Sumner Ave. in downtown Cleveland.
