"Matthew Osborn has been an entrepreneur since he was 10 years old."
He grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada and southern Utah with his parents and three sisters. His passion for starting businesses started at the age of ten when he sold his first item on Ebay. Businesses at this age included selling candy and lemonade to starting a skateboard brand. Throughout this period Matthew Osborn developed the skills to build websites, create graphics and branding, as well as social media marketing. His official first job came at the age of 14 where he washed dishes for a local restaurant. By this time he had created five Facebook Pages with a total following of over 100,000 people.
At the age of 16 he was a Life Guard at a public pool in his home town of Cedar City, Utah and his love of fitness inspired a business called QSR (Quality Supplement Reviews). While Matthew loved fitness supplements, he hated paying for them. So, he started QSR by reaching out to major fitness brand requesting products to review. Within two months, he had over 100 supplements sent to him for free in exchange for a review. He printed 25 shirts with the QSR logo and sent them to major influencers where they took photos wearing the shirts boosting the company Twitter page to 5,000+ followers overnight.
