About the Founder of Ramcrete Concrete Designs

Matt Shields founded Ramcrete Concrete Designs in 2002 after searching for someone to install concrete floors in his own home. His wife found a training class for decorative concrete and signed him up for it. Always being a do-it-yourself person and having a creative mindset, he came home from the first day of the class and realized he found the subject for his next business venture. Allowing him to be as creative with concrete surfaces as he wanted to, he explored different mediums to apply to  concrete. His passion for being creative, coupled with the idea of being a sponge for information has led him to various concrete studios and concrete training seminars around the United States. Matt wanted to learn from the concrete industry leaders, those that were applying and creating high end concrete effects. His passion to create beautiful and functional concrete surfaces, coupled with constantly expanding his understanding of concrete is one reason his clients love the end end results. We can complete the best projects like concrete countertops Tulsa, exterior concrete display, concrete fireplaces and more. 

His wife says “You will like him because he is so involved in the day-to-day application of your project”. You will get frustrated with him for the same reason, until he gets to your job.  Matt is hands on with every job and doesn’t stop until it is complete. That is the philosophy and life that Ramcrete Concrete Designs lives on and implements in every aspect of the day-to-day operations. You will be amazed at the possibilities Matt and his team have worked so hard to build for clients to enhance their home whether that be concrete countertops Tulsa or any other type of project. 

Matt has always wanted to be outside building something.  Born and raised in Tulsa, OK and growing up with parents who did home remodel projects, prepared  him for the rigors of the concrete construction world. That is why he has so much experience in his work whether that may be a fireplace install, concrete countertops Tulsa or something else. He graduated from Southwest Baptist University, with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. and lasted 6 months in an office, before he “went outside”. His first business kept him outside 24/7. After 15 years he made a change, needing something with more creative freedom.   The determination to build his own house comes from the attitude, “I can figure it”.
