Rogers and Samsung helping me live #LifeIn4K

Interview with Matt Dean Pettit and a giveaway
To say that Matt Dean Pettit has an eclectic resumé would be quite the understatement. He has gone from being a busboy in Midland, Ontario, to semi pro rugby player in Edinburgh, Scotland, to travelling the world as a sales representative with Moët & Chandon, and he’s not even close to finishing up that resumé. …
