About Me
Matt was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA as the youngest of three. He attended Grove City College in western PA where he played varsity baseball and was involved in the jazz band. He also met his wonderful wife Molly there. They got married in 2021 and then moved to the Charlotte area for 3 years before returning to Pittsburgh.
Matt loves his work and providing value to clients. He is gifted at finding the most efficient solution and solving problems. He also loves meeting and forming deep, lifelong relationships with those he serves.
When not at work, you can find him spending time with his wife Molly, hanging out with friends, or enjoying his hobbies. He loves to play any number of sports including pickleball, golf, and baseball/softball. He also plays the bass and is learning to play the guitar. Matt and his wife Molly are both members at City Reformed Church where they are both actively involved in the youth group program.
He is a consistent supporter of missions and organizations such as the Charlotte Eagles, Athletes in Action, and partnerships through City Reformed.
Helping clients take the most efficient action towards their goals is his passion.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.

Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
