Managing Partner and CEO

Stix Sushi & Seafood, Gulf Coast Agency

At age 15, Matt Boggan began his entrepreneurial journey when he founded his first marketing company, Design MNB. As the firm evolved into Gulf Coast Agency, Boggan expanded his portfolio in 2023 with the opening of Stix Sushi & Seafood in Naples. Though the leap from marketer to restaurateur may not be all that common, for Boggan, it was a natural extension of his entrepreneurial drive.

“From a young age, I was fascinated by the intersection of technology and communication. The challenge of creating innovative solutions for diverse businesses is what keeps me engaged and driven in my work,” Boggan says. “The dynamic and ever-evolving nature of my industries keeps me motivated to learn and adapt, ensuring that I can provide the best possible outcomes for my clients and community.”

Boggan’s service to the community is as varied as his businesses. He was a Best Buddies Champion of the Year 2021 for his work promoting inclusion and acceptance of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He also is the current president of Chabad on Campus, a member of the Associate Leadership Collier Class of 2024 and an active member of the East Naples Civic and Commerce Association.
