Wilbur joined as\u00a0a leader of UrbanMatter, Inc. with the goal of growing an empire from the ground up. When he\u2019s not out conquering the\u00a0world, the young CEO can often be found cheering for the Bulls, Blackhawks, Cubs and Bears as they take the field.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”top” hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1603914487851{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_single_image image=”6225″ img_size=”500×500″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Chief Marketing Officer\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n As an\u00a0award-winning author & Chicago native, Michael couldn\u2019t be happier to head the UrbanMatter editorial team. Known by most as the happy-go-lucky guy with terrible jokes, this MBA student can likely be found talking about fantasy football, traveling, or hitting the beach \u2013 sometimes all at once.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1556899407219{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_single_image image=”122432″ img_size=”500×500″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Managing Partner & Editor-in-Chief<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n Brian Lendino has never met an individual he couldn’t have a conversation with and you will see the at abundantly in his writing style. He brings his decades-long experience as an editor and content strategist to UM after two years of running and publishing his own Chicago-focused digital media publication, Hub Chicago.<\/p>\n As a born and bred Chicagoan, Brian enjoys the simple things in life — like Miller Lite, the 606 Trail, and playing corn hole. Or is it bags? It’s bags. If you can’t find him doing a combination of those three things you can find him in front of a TV cursing out the Chicago Bulls, unabashedly defending Jason Heyward, or trying to fix the Chicago Bears.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1556899407219{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_single_image image=”40791″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n SEO Specialist<\/em><\/p>\n Ryan grew up in Schaumburg, Illinois and is a proud alumni member of North Central College in Naperville, Illinois.
