Matt Graber owns and manages Cool Hand Movers with his wife, Ashley, in New York City. Over the last 15 years, he has built Cool Hand Movers from the ground up, from a man-with-a-van operation to a sought-after industry leader in the greater New York area.
His first few years in the field built a solid foundation of hands-on experience that proves invaluable to hiring and training a top-notch team of service providers. Over the following decade, he also built the business acumen necessary to sustain and grow a company in NYC, a highly competitive, challenging market for movers. Despite myriad restrictions on commercial vehicles, insurance requirements and challenging walk-ups, Matt has built a company that delivers individualized moving services of consistent, excellent quality. Cool Hand Movers also won New York Magazine's Best Movers for a Hand with Packing.
Since acquiring BoxUp in 2022, Matt has also developed expertise in sustainable moving supplies. This reusable moving bin service operates both as an integrated Cool Hand Movers offering and as a service for clients moving with other companies in New York City.
A knowledgeable resource, Matt is frequently tapped by both local and national publications to provide insight for consumers planning a move. His insights on moving best practices, advice for customers shopping for services and tips on an eco-friendly move have been featured in USA Today, Architectural Digest, Homes and Gardens, Consumer Affairs and more.
Matt is a lifelong Brooklynite. He lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with his wife Ashley, and their dogs, Suitcase and Momo.
