There are very few people in the world today who are blessed with generous hearts. The modern race to achieve all things material has made man selfish and condescending. There is always so much more to achieve in this capitalist world that those who are not privileged enough are forgotten.

For Matthew, it is highly astonishing to let the fact sink in that where there are countless millionaires and billionaires in the United States of America, there is a massive percentage of homeless individuals who are the responsibility of the state. Despite having a rough childhood, which was marked by homelessness and parents’ drug addiction, Matthew Gallagher did not let his roots define him. He rose higher than his peers and achieved great success, only to give back to the community.
Matthew is not a quitter. He ventured into various businesses since his teenage life. He got himself a stable job as a programmer that promised a stable job, but that meant for him to quit his dreams of being successful in life and having the power to help all those who sought his help. Life took him from movie sets to advertising agencies only to help him discover his true inner calling; building the legacy, Watch Gang.
“We're not changing the world selling watches to people, but if I can use this platform for good, I will use the company to do charitable work”
Matthew uses his power as the founder of a multi-million-dollar company and his influence on his subscribed members, to generate funds for social causes. He is highly interested in empowering homeless individuals and allowing them to be self-sufficient. He has partnered with various non-profit organizations to fulfill his philanthropic duties.
Matthew relates well to homelessness, child poverty, and drug abuse as his childhood was scarred with all three.
“I’m highly interested in philanthropy, specifically around humanitarian issues such as homelessness, drug abuse, and kids in poverty as these things touch very close to home for me.”
He got lucky in life to escape these harsh realities and today vows to help as many people as he could to escape from them. He also regularly voices his opinion on government laws and regulations related to these social issues. He has sound knowledge of the psyche of homeless people of America and constantly raises his voice for them. He believes they don’t just need homes but self-sufficiency, integrity, and mental health care first.
Matthew Gallagher continues to fulfill his ethical and philanthropic duties while also running Watch Gang as CEO.
