Meet the Team

  • Andrew Ewas

    PRINCIPAL | MA CT RI

    (617) 501-6708 andy@gpmsportsgroup.com

    Andy has served as the creator and principal representative of GPM Sports Group for over a decade. Before starting GPM in 2008, Andy worked in many facets of the industry, including roles as a bicycle messenger, neutral support mechanic, and store manager for one of the Nation’s top IBDs. As a result of 25 years of collective industry experience, Andy has developed two skillsets related to GPM’s success: an acute sensitivity to dealers’ needs and a keen eye for intentional, high-quality gear. In his free time, Andy can be found recreating on anything with two wheels (and sometimes four!) or walking his dogs around his favorite neighborhoods in Providence, RI.

As a buyer for LL Bean and Decathlon USA, he outperformed his peers in sales and margin growth for 5 years straight. His growth streak has remained unchanged during his tenure at GPM. These achievements are attributed to Matt’s passion for applying his industry knowledge to support buyers in making optimal decisions for their businesses. Matt lives on the Maine Coast with his wonderful wife and three amazing kids, where he rides bikes and coaches youth hockey and lacrosse.
