Innovating Ancient Industry

Matt Brosious was not sure what he wanted to do when he left the U.S. Army as a special ops Ranger, so he started college in upstate New York.

But when his dad, Jim, unexpectedly needed help with one of three stores he owned in the consumer mailing and packaging business, Brosious dropped out of college and moved to the New Port Richey area.

When he realized people did not know what size restrictions were on shipping items, he started a little side business in the back of one of the stores to offer shipping on large items. Within two years, revenues from his operation surpassed the entire chain of stores, so his dad decided to sell the stores and let Brosious run the shipping business.
