Meet Matt Redford
My wife and I started BLAZE 360 because we got tired of guessing.
Like so many couples and families, we've spent countless hours planning camping trips, mountain biking adventures, and family getaways based on a handful of photos and campground descriptions that rarely told the whole story.
More than once, we pulled into a campsite only to discover it looked nothing like we expected. The views weren't what the photos suggested. The site wasn't ideal for our setup. The experience simply didn't match the expectations.
At the same time, my professional career was focused on helping organizations solve complex problems through technology, product innovation, customer experience, and digital transformation. For more than twenty years, I've worked at the intersection of technology and operational excellence, helping teams build products that make information more accessible and decision making more effective.
My wife shares that same instinct — she's my partner on the trail, behind the scenes, and in building this company. Together we realized the same principle applied to outdoor recreation: people make better decisions when they can truly see and understand a destination before they arrive.
That realization, together, became BLAZE 360.
By combining immersive 360° imagery, mapping technology, drone photography, campground data, and outdoor intelligence, we're building a platform that helps campers make more informed decisions and avoid disappointing experiences.
My wife and I share one goal: help people see the experience before they book it.
