Matt is originally from southern New Jersey, and aftergraduating from high school, he went on to enlist in the Marine Corps, starting bootcamp and active duty only 5 days after graduation. During his time in the Marines, he deployed twice to Afghanistan for over a year. He also played French Horn for the Marine band for a period before moving to another unit for his deployments. Shortly after returning from his second deployment, he began attending college full-time at Thomas Jefferson University (then Philadelphia University) where he completed a dual BS degree in Health Sciences and Biological Psychology. He later returned to South Jersey to attend medical school and earned his DO degree at Rowan University. While in residency, Matt also began working toward an MBA at the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and plans to graduate before completing his residency training. Outside the hospital, Matt enjoys traveling – having been to nearly 30 countries to-date, playing music, taking care of his pets – and animals in general, and exploring new restaurants and cafes.
