Matthew J. Farmer
Owner, SurfaceWorks ProWash
Matthew J. Farmer is the owner of SurfaceWorks ProWash, an exterior cleaning and surface restoration company in Canton, Ohio.
He previously worked as an insurance claims specialist, negotiating property damage claims with insurance adjusters — establishing that the carrier paid for the damage, and that a claim captured everything the policyholder was entitled to.
He grew up in Carrollton, Ohio and moved to Canton at seventeen. The company's service area is the twenty Northeast Ohio cities he has personally worked in rather than a territory drawn on a map.

Writing
