Denon Custom Install Training Manager Wins Powerball
Matthew Good, Denon/D&M trainer and Powerball millionaire
He says he plans to keep his job after collecting about $192 million – a lump sum he chose to collect now instead of after the potential fiscal cliff.
According to countless news sources, Good grew up in Wormleysburg, Pa., and currently lives in the Phoenix suburb of Fountain Hills.
Looks like now he’ll be able to afford some of the high-end consumer electronics he’s been selling for Denon for more than a decade.
According to Linkedin, he has been a custom installation product trainer since 2000. Previously, he was operations manager for the specialty A/V retailer Hi Fi Unlimited.
D&M Holdings is now known as D+M Group, the world still knows them by their former brand, named after a merger between Denon and Marantz. The company also offers the Boston Acoustics brand of audio products. It sold high-end McIntosh audio gear before divesting the company earlier this year.

Wow, that’s great! Congrats, Matt! He’s always been a standup guy in my experience.
Congrats Matt. Can you send me the $2 I wasted on a ticket?
“He says he plans to keep his job”
Is this confirmed Julie?
Matt has been such a huge resource for so many of us over the years but It couldn’t have happened to a better guy and I certainly wouldnt blame him for scooping up his family and disappearing.
Matt, if you read this I want to say Thank You. You’ve been a friend in the business and a step in my success. I wish you the best of everything. You will be missed. Now get on a plane and forget about us. Go out in style bro.
I can’t imagine why anyone would! I mean I love *my* job but I’d be out the door ... and fast
Matt,
I don’t know you. But from the previous comments made about you, I just felt the need to express that I am glad that a stand up guy has been given the opportunities you have been given in the big win. I especially respect the fact that you would continue to work at your job after winning such a substantial amount. That is what character is all about, which sounds like you have. Congratulation!
Congratulations!!!I think you are a very dedicated CEO for Denon,most people would quit their jobs.Way to go.
Congratulations! That amount is surreal!
Personally, I’d be on the beach in Hawaii right about now!
Wow,
Congrats Matt, you will be the funniest, richest dude to program his own remotes. If you do a super kick ass system it would be great for CE Pro to chronicle it under your new alias. Matt Money! Enjoy.
At least someone in this industry is making money! Congratulations.
Matt,
This is great news indeed. I feel like I almost won! Enjoy and be a customer not an installer any more.
...now thats an exit strategy!
Matt is a terrific guy and a credit to the industry. As someone else said, if he decides to disappear I will be sad to see him go but would not blame him one bit. Congrats Matt!
Congrats Matt, a stand up guy and great resource! a man after my own heart, don’t let the money change you who you are. keep on doing what you love to do.
Matt is the one of the most deserving people I know to win and I like others hope he does stay at Denon as he is a HUGE wealth of knowledge and highly respected.
An amazing guy, honored to have known and joked with him over the past decade. Congrats Matt, you’re a class act!
