Overview

About

Matt is a proud Washingtonian who grew up in the Seattle suburbs under the endless stretch of beautiful gray skies and massaging sensation of rainfall pellets. Upon graduating high school, Matt decided to trade the comforts of rain jackets and umbrellas for tank tops and short shorts as he attended the University of Southern California where he majored in business administration. There he met faculty and peers who inspired and challenged him to learn about the world outside of what he knew and learn how no two businesses have the same story to success.

After graduation, he worked in a non-accounting role with a successful startup for a few years before electing to go back to college and pursue one of his natural strengths throughout college - accounting. He took the necessary credits to take the CPA exams and obtained his license, and shortly after started at a small 10-person CPA firm east of Seattle, and never looked back. He credits his grit and desire for higher learning for catapulting his skillset early on, and he still carries those qualities today.

Outside of work, Matt enjoys quality time with his family. He is a big enthusiast of the outdoors, whether it be surfing in the ocean or dirtbiking somewhere rural. When indoors, Matt loves to spend time reading up on books, working on his arsenal of puns, and expanding his knowledge in real estate.

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
