A few things you might not know about Matt…
What is your favorite quote?
““Nothing worth doing is easy.” – John Bravo. It’s something my father would say to me all the time growing up. He taught me not to be afraid of hard work and to never stop striving to learn more. There is always more to learn and ways to get better.”
Coffee or tea?
“Isn’t there room in the world for both? While I do enjoy a good cup of coffee I would have to say tea. If you’re ever having a bad day or feeling under the weather, a nice warm cup of tea always hits the spot. And of course, there are few things better than a cool glass of iced tea on a hot summer day.”

If you had the option to pursue a different career, what would it be?
“Either an actor or a chef. I grew up going with my family to community and professional theaters in and around the Philadelphia area. I began performing when I was in elementary school and it’s still a hobby I pursue today. I also grew up in a large Italian family with Sunday dinner being a regular occurrence. I truly enjoy preparing intricate meals for my friends and family and am always in awe of chefs who follow their passion and create amazing and inspiring meals.”
Cat person or dog person?
“I am definitely a cat person. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats, but this is no reflection on them. Dogs love you unconditionally, but you have to earn the love of a cat. I think it comes back to the old perspective… a dog thinks, my owner feeds me, bathes me, and picks up after me, they must be a god! A cat thinks, my owner feeds me, bathes me, and picks up after me, I must be a god!”
