Entrepreneur | Project Manager | Real Estate & Asset/Property Manager

Early Career & Education
Matt Shekari earned his Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from Yazd University in 2007. Even before graduation, his entrepreneurial drive was evident when he launched his first company—FEO, a telecommunications services firm based in Tehran—in 2004. This early venture marked the beginning of his lifelong commitment to engineering-led business development and innovation within the telecom sector.

Telecom Leadership – NDT & EHP
In 2007, Matt joined NDT, a leading telecom infrastructure company, quickly rising into leadership roles responsible for managing multi-million dollar cellular network rollout projects. His meticulous focus on quality assurance, budget discipline, and on-time delivery played a vital role in expanding NDT’s footprint across regional markets.

Building on this foundation, Matt founded EHP in 2012, a full-service civil and telecom infrastructure firm specializing in design, build, and network optimization. Under his strategic leadership, EHP secured contracts with global industry giants including Ericsson, Huawei, MTN, and AsiaCell. The company successfully managed complex, cross-border projects spanning Iraq, Armenia, and the UAE, earning a reputation for reliability and logistical excellence.

Entrepreneurial Leadership in Texas – TOPTEL & TOPTELECOM
After relocating to Dallas in 2014, Matt founded TOPTEL (construction) and TOPTELECOM (communications infrastructure), serving as CEO and Project Manager. Leveraging his engineering background and construction management certificate, he built high-performing teams and scaled both firms to deliver major commercial, residential, and civil cellular antenna projects. Known for efficiency, cost control, and client focus,

He integrated Fieldwire automation to streamline site coordination and workflows, significantly boosting on-site productivity from budgeting through design and implementation. This digital transformation improved real-time compliance tracking and optimized field reporting. By embedding these scalable tools, Matt eliminated manual bottlenecks, strengthened cross-team communication, and enhanced operational agility—ensuring consistent on-time delivery and tight cost control on multi-million-dollar projects throughout Texas.

Real Estate Investment & Property Management – Lakeshore Asset
In 2025, Matt expanded his entrepreneurial portfolio by launching Lakeshore Asset, a real estate investment and property management division focused on strategic acquisitions, capital planning, and full-cycle asset operations. With an MBA in Financial Management—completed with an Asset Management thesis in August 2025—he applies rigorous financial analysis and portfolio optimization techniques across residential and commercial assets.

As a licensed Realtor, Matt oversees:

• Real estate development and acquisition strategies

• Capital-efficient portfolio expansion and asset repositioning

• Full-cycle property management, leasing, and tenant retention

• Operational efficiency, budgeting, and net operating income (NOI) improvement

To modernize operations, Matt integrated Yardi automation and its Pulse platform within Lakeshore Asset. This digital transformation streamlined property operations, utility management, financial reporting, and tenant communications. Supported by advanced Excel financial modeling and QuickBooks accounting, these systems transformed Lakeshore Asset into a data-driven, scalable operation focused on maximizing long-term asset value and investor transparency. His emphasis on automation improves visibility, reduces manual work, and empowers proactive decision-making across all aspects of property management.

Side Venture – Snowy Fun
In 2020, Matt founded Snowy Fun, a snow-themed children’s party and event venue designed to deliver memorable, family-centered seasonal experiences. Following strong local success, he is now preparing for a national franchise rollout to expand this immersive winter entertainment concept across communities throughout the United States.
