Meet The Team

Matthew Madison
Founder & CEO
As Founder & CEO, for 8 years Matthew served as Laboratory Director at East Coast Labs, LLC in Rhode Island and also led ECL's Quality Department before stepping away from Laboratory operations in 2019 and taking on the role of CEO. After serving as CEO for 2 years, Matthew sold his company East Coast Labs, LLC to focus on maintaining the Texas-based lab, ECL Testing, that was founded in the fall of 2020.
As an active voice in the Texas cannabis community, Matthew is a leader in this, soon to be regulated, market and is once again helping growers build their business by empowering them with knowledge gained from quality testing and his 14 years of industry experience. A Brown University graduate and successful entrepreneur, Matthew employs a Total Quality Management (TQM) approach to the company, evaluating the services provided to and the ways in which they impact the cannabis community.
Matthew has led ECL Testing, LLC to become an ISO/IEC:17025 accredited cannabis test labs network that is known for quality, integrity, and quick turnaround times. When not at work, Matthew enjoys exercising, farming, fishing, hunting, and spending time with his wife, eight children, and Dollie, the family doberman.
