In The Big Lebowski, one of Allen (Matt) Coyle’s favorite movies, The Dude believes “that rug really tied the room together.” Allen is definitely not a rug, but we believe he really ties the Quality Logo Products team together!
Meet Allen – a star Quidditch player (he was the captain of his college team) who enjoys board games, movies, and football on Sundays. He sells tickets for the Chicago Bears, but is excited for his new foray into promotional product sales.
Let’s get to know Allen!
Christmas is around the corner! What’s on your holiday wish list?
For this Christmas, I am looking forward to building my own gaming PC. I hope Santa brings me parts for it.
What are 3 of your favorite movies of all time?
Top 3 movies of all time (in no particular order): The Big Lebowski, The Dark Knight, and John Wick.
If you could be any cartoon character, which one would you choose and why?
If I could be a cartoon character, I would want to be Forky from Toy Story 4 because we both have a curious mind and want to see what the world is made of! (Hopefully not trash).
What are some things you enjoy doing on the weekends?
I like walking my dog Miss Phoenix, watching football on Sundays, and playing board games with friends.
What is the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?
The most adventurous thing I have ever done was go to San Diego Comic Con with two friends. I had never visited the state of California before. We ended up having a blast being surrounded by others like me!
Where is the best place you’ve ever gone on vacation?
The best place I have ever vacationed is my happy place, Walt Disney World.
Do you have a sweet tooth, or do you prefer salty snacks? What are some of your favorites?
I am a brownie man myself, however I will do almost anything for some tacos.
They’re writing a biography about your life! What is the title?
Just a Kid From Illinois: The Story of How a Nerd Became a Jock
Who is a famous person you’d like to meet?
I would Ideally like to meet Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, but I would also like to meet Mike Ditka for obvious reasons. #Beardown
Let’s say you could time travel to any year or place. Where would you go?
I would love to visit ancient Rome in the height of its power. I think the Romans were one of the most accomplished civilizations of our time.
Hopefully Allen doesn’t time travel to ancient Rome because we like that he’s here with us. Any fan of board games, Quidditch, The Chicago Bears, and tacos is a friend of ours!
