150 - California to Tennessee :: AJ Russell

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast

AJ Russell didn’t anticipate moving from California to Tennessee. Our lovely state was last on his list..until he visited here. 

Nonetheless, he still needed to get out of California. 

Since then, many Californians are calling Tennessee their new home for a myriad of (mostly political) reasons.  

A former racecar driver, AJ brought with him a company called Matson Alarm where he was a rockstar Account Executive in Fresno. The owners of the company love AJ so much, that they let him take the name and build a Tennessee division of the company.
