Growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, Matt was a dual sport athlete his whole life, playing both football and baseball up until his varsity year of high school. At the age of 16, Matt was diagnosed with a 360 SLAP labral tear and decided to quit all sports and pursue bodybuilding. Upon graduating high school, Matt was admitted into San Diego State University where he obtained his bachelor's degree in business administration with an emphasis in accounting. Matt soon realized after working for multiple corporations that the 9-5 life was just not for him. He dug deep and decided to flip a switch to go all in on social media as an entrepreneur and pursue his passion in bodybuilding and online coaching. Matt now currently lives on his own terms, running a full blown coaching business while also sharing his journey in bodybuilding in hopes to obtain his IFBB pro card in men’s physique
