Matt Paxton
Matt Paxton has always been an entrepreneur; he started out as a child selling gum on the school bus and making a 70% profit. He was an analyst for the Federal Reserve right out of college, invented an all natural cleaner for flip-flops, owned a wet suit company and even tried selling pre-cut limes to Budweiser. Matt was determined to keep trying to find an area of business he could be successful in and make a lot of money.
In 2006 Clutter Cleaners came to him as a way to pay rent. His first project was cleaning out his grandmother's basement. The amazing look of relief and joy on Matt's grandmother's face when the job was done immediately convinced Matt that this was a service people really needed, and Clutter Cleaner was born. He started out relocating senior citizens and now his company is featured on A&E's hit reality series, Hoarders. Matt helps compulsive hoarders clean out their homes and clean up their lives. He even tries to connect more with his fans, answering their questions live on the show's website after his show airs.
Clutter Cleaner doesn't view anyone's things as "junk" to just be removed. There is an understanding that there's a reason you have everything and that some things are more difficult to part with than others. Matt says he is most excited about finishing his first book, Secret Lives of Hoarders: True Stories of Tackling Extreme Clutter, which is set to be released in May of 2011.
However unlikely, hoarding has become part of the pop culture landscape. Matt Paxton knows this very well. He has made it into a half million dollar a year business that employs six full-time employees. Several television shows and books on the subject of hoarding have recently become popular among wide audiences. However, Paxton faces the difficult task of working with people who have taken hoarding to a new level that has overrun their lives and homes.
Paxton has become a star on the hit A&E show, Hoarders. He offers a look into the shocking world of people who have problems with hoarding while he tries to help them clean up their lives and get the help they need. It's no surprise that he has recently become increasingly popular with viewers of the show. He is a professional cleaner, not a therapist like many of the other contributors on the show. Therefore he is able to let his personality and thoughts come out more freely. People often praise him for speaking his mind, saying what other people are thinking, and being tough on the hoarders who need a strong-willed person to help them with their disorder.
