Cole Matter

Cole Matter is a driven and results-oriented student in the Program for Excellence in Selling at the University of Houston’s C. T. Bauer College of Business. Known for his strong work ethic, professionalism, and strategic approach to sales, Cole consistently goes above and beyond expectations. One of his favorite quotes is by Bedros Keuilian: “Average is the enemy, success is your responsibility, and change can happen in an instant.” This quote resonates deeply with his personal and professional philosophy. It serves as a daily reminder that excellence requires intentional effort and that growth begins with personal accountability. I believe in taking ownership of outcomes, striving beyond the status quo, and recognizing that meaningful change can start the moment I choose to act. Whether in academics, sales, or leadership, this mindset has driven me to stay committed, adaptable, and consistently push past mediocrity.
