Matt is a Florida native and a proud veteran. He graduated from West Point with a degree in Engineering and Management, then served as a Commissioned Armor Officer and Brigade HQ Executive Officer in the United States Army.

After his period of military service, Matt pursued a career in real estate development and finance.

He has been recognized by the Gulf Coast Business Review as a Top 40 Under 40 Business Leader in the Tampa Bay area and was selected for the President’s Council in the Manatee County Economic Development Council.

In his spare time, he enjoys giving back to his community in a variety of ways–most notably, through service to the Boys and Girls Club, Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, and as a local football and track team coach.

He also founded a charitable foundation that raised $1.5 million for socio-economically challenged kids to attend college prep schools.
