Over the last year or so we have stayed in touch and Matt was kind enough to come o with me and talk a bit about his journey in life. Matt is multi-faceted and I believe has a mindset that we could all learn from. So take an hour to get to know him and enjoy his outlook on life! It is inspirational!
