One of the finest humans you'll ever meet, Matt is an intelligent and thoughtful leader, with exceptional people skills. His leadership experience in a variety of high performance environments, coupled with his communication style and an extensive network of contacts in many of the highest level performance programs, leads to world class results. With an openness to both sharing his knowledge, and learning along the way, Matt has all of the tools to help any organization take their game to the next level.

Ryan Burgess

Matt is cut to the chase, results driven leader that excelled in turning tough challenges into new opportunities. He is highly respected by the team he managed, which I believe is a result of his high expectations and desire to make the people around him better. This was evident with his involvement in the FRMC, which reached new highs in performance and staff promotions. He is someone that cares about the people he works with, and strives to build a thriving and highly engaged team.
