Formative Years and Academic Foundations

Heather Matuszek moved to Stuart, Florida, in 1996, where she grew up alongside her younger and older sister. Her childhood was filled with a passion for sports, playing ice hockey and baseball and participating in various athletic activities during middle and high school.

Simultaneously, just a few months before graduation from Mercer, Heather’s older sister tragically passed away in a car accident. 

Beginnings in the Workforce

Following her graduation, Heather moved back home to be close to her family after the loss of her sister. During this period, she worked as a substitute teacher in the local school system, coached at the high school level, and served in several local ministries. 

Heather’s professional journey began with an opportunity to serve as a leader in a Quick Service Restaurant (QSR), where she worked from 2010 to 2013.

Heather successfully operated this business until 2021, when she chose to explore new ventures.

Transition to Property Renovation and Consulting

Heather’s entrepreneurial spirit led her and her partner to enter the property investment industry. They established a cabinet company specializing in cabinet design and Feather Lane Consulting LLC, offering restaurant business consulting and property management services. Heather’s expertise in real estate investment and renovations further showcases her diverse skill set and commitment to excellence in every endeavor.

The Construction and Design Industry

The construction and design industry is a diverse sector made up of various phases of creating and managing buildings and infrastructure. This industry involves everything from the initial project planning and architectural design to the actual construction and maintenance of structures. It requires the collaboration of various professionals, such as architects, engineers, contractors, and project managers.

One key aspect of the construction and design industry is project management. This involves overseeing the project from conception to completion and ensuring that it adheres to timelines, budgets, and regulatory requirements. Project managers play an important role in coordinating the various elements of a construction project, including design, procurement of materials, and labor force management.

Heather is currently making her mark in this industry. As an Executive Assistant and Project Manager, she leverages her experience in leadership and operations to support and manage various aspects of construction and design projects. Her role involves coordinating efforts among teams, ensuring that projects run smoothly, and maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.

She is also an avid surfer, enjoys playing guitar at open mic nights, and frequently attends live music events in the Tampa area. In addition, Heather has a keen interest in property fixer-upper investment opportunities, often undertaking renovation work herself.

Heather loves spending quality time with her three dogs, often taking them on walks and adventures. Another favorite pastime is taking their boat out on the Gulf, where she enjoys the thrill of exploring new spots.
