About me
Mike Matzinger
I am a scientist, business leader, and lifelong volunteer based in Greensboro, North Carolina. Since 2009 I have served as President of Burlington Chemical Company, and I am the primary inventor on 32 patents. I hold a B.S. in Chemistry from NC State, a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Emory, and an MBA in Finance from the University of South Carolina.
Service has been part of my life since I joined Cub Scouts in 1969. I earned Eagle at 14, both of my sons are Eagle Scouts, and I have founded seven Scouting units. I built this page because the most rewarding thing I can do is help others find their own place to serve.
