He is down-to-earth and respects the relationships he forges, both personally and professionally. A major driver for him are the opportunities to positively impact other people’s lives through career enhancement.
From Boston to California Matt currently resides on the Central Coast of California. He and his wife Jennifer have been busy raising a blended family of 5 children. Their life together is focused on faith, family and being as intentional as possible with their time.
