Matt Paxton
Matt Paxton is not your typical organizer. When Matt started Clutter Cleaner in 2006, it was intended to focus on cleaning houses for grieving widows and relocating seniors. But he quickly found himself sought out by extreme hoarders and now he and his crew clean out the messiest homes in America.
Matt is a "regular guy" who understands both hoarding and addiction issues first-hand. Shortly after college, he spent a year gambling at Caesar's Palace in Lake Tahoe, when he ran up $40,000 in gambling debt that he couldn't pay. After a run in with his bookie, Matt admitted his problem and sought help.
Matt and his Clutter Cleaner team have cleaned over 300 hoarded homes and have developed a "no nonsense" style of helping aging seniors and hoarders alike. He is a featured organizer on A&E's Hoarders and speaks nationally on hoarding and senior relocation. Matt's incredible stories have been highlighted in various publications, including the WSJ and Inc Magazine. He has written a book for family members and the general public to better understand hoarding. The Secret Lives of Hoarders hit stores on May 3, 2011.
Matt and his wife Sarah live in Richmond, Virginia with their infant son, Cooper. Information on Matt and Clutter Cleaner is available at www.ClutterCleaner.biz.
