When Matt isn’t spreading good vibes with the M&P Nation, he is spending time with his wife (Bridget), two sons (Ben and Will), and family who are extremely supportive in all of his passions. Matt LOVES to go running (Ultra Marathoner), prepare mean lentil soups, and watch professional wrestling while striving to live his life by following the three step motto: Be Nice, Work Hard, and Stay Confident.
