Who We Are

A vertically integrated build partner.

2nd Tour Group is a veteran-owned real estate development and construction firm — owner's representatives and project managers led by military veterans who treat cost, schedule, and performance as non-negotiable.

We bring discipline from the flight line and the firehouse to the job site: rigorous safety, regulated and environmental execution, and accountable management from acquisition through delivery. One partner, accountable end to end.

The Founder

Matthew J. Read

Founder · USMC NCO, VMGR-234 "Rangers" · Crowley, Texas

A U.S. Marine Corps NCO with VMGR-234 at NAS Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Matthew served as a C-130 powerline mechanic — rebuilding aircraft engines, gearboxes, and propellers — before supervising a Hazardous Materials Maintenance Division accountable for over $1M in regulated materials and full federal, state, and base compliance.

His background spans hazmat, firefighting, and emergency medicine, with incident-command leadership across complex, high-risk operations. Today he leads environmental and regulated-waste projects as a project and operations manager, is a PMI-CP candidate, and is pursuing a B.A.S. in Public Administration (Tarleton State) and Fire Officer credentials (Collin College).
