Matt Pesler
OWNER & MANAGING DIRECTOR
About Me
Hi, I'm Matthew Pesler, the owner and director of Grand Welcome Columbus. I grew up near Dayton OH, where I graduated from Wright State University with a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership. Since then I have lived in numerous cities including Boston, Denver, Nashville, Cincinnati, and Columbus.
I started out in business management, and more recently am co-owner of a successful insurance agency right here in Columbus. My love for travel and hospitality eventually led me to my true passion, vacation rental management. I’m grateful to my family, who have always been my biggest supporters.
Over the past decade, I've built a personal short-term rental portfolio consisting of 30 units throughout the area and have assembled an amazing team that truly goes above-and-beyond to provide the best vacation rental experience.
What IÂ Love About Columbus, Ohio
In my free time, I enjoy hiking at Highbanks Metro Park, kayaking the Columbus Scioto Mile, and golfing at The Virtues Golf Club. My wife, Marianne, and I love exploring Columbus's diverse food scene (The Refectory is our favorite) and watching the Buckeyes at "The Shoe."
