A voice for Greenville’s neighborhoods and business community

Matt is a proven leader in the military and local community. He is ready to bring his experience to Greenville City Council to be a champion for the Greenville that we love.

Greenville is the place Matt Alexander and his family are proud to call home. After graduating from Furman University, Matt served as a helicopter pilot in the United States Army. Matt’s military service included flying Black Hawk MEDEVAC helicopters, including one tour of duty in Iraq. Matt continued flying in the Army National Guard until 2017 before being honorably discharged as a captain. Matt subsequently earned his graduate degree from Clemson University and has worked in various roles within the local Greenville commercial real estate industry since 2014. Through his involvement with the Urban Land Institute, Matt has advocated for responsible, community-focused growth that brings neighborhoods together.

Since 2017, Matt has served on the Advisory Council of one of the largest builders of affordable housing in South Carolina and just began his seventh year as a city-appointed Commissioner to the Greenville Downtown Airport.

Matt is passionate about the City of Greenville, the need to protect and preserve our community, and the need for forward-thinking leadership that focuses on quality public safety, transportation, infrastructure, and housing for future generations.
