A lawyer, scientist, and occasional entrepreneur, Dr. Mattson has practiced land use, environmental, and administrative law since 1980, and taught marine pollution law at the University of Miami from 1983 to 1993. He also consults on environmental matters nationally, for government entities, on damages to natural resources from oil and hazardous substance spills. Since 1983, Dr. Mattson has lived and practiced in the Florida Keys. In 1997, he founded Great House of Wine, Inc., a premium wine distributor and importer based in Florida, New York, and California. He divided his time between his law practice and Great House of Wine until the US premium wine industry declined quickly on September 11, 2001, when he went back to practicing law full-time. Dr. Mattson is both a trial and an appellate attorney, and is listed in Who's Who in American Law, Who's Who in Science & Engineering, Who's Who in America, Who’s Who in the World, and Who’s Who in the South and Southwest.
