Matt attended Wartburg College, where he studied accounting and finance. After graduating, he earned his Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, marking the beginning of his professional career in public accounting.

A former college golfer at Wartburg College, he still enjoys spending time on the course and staying active. Recently, he and his wife completed both a half marathon and a Hyrox race together. This year marks an especially meaningful new chapter as they welcomed their first child, a daughter. Matt is embracing this new phase of life with gratitude and excitement.
