Originally from California, Matt was raised in the panhandle of Florida. There he excelled in many athletics, mainly football and surfing. Unfortunately, throughout his 20’s, he fell into a sedentary lifestyle. This resulted in him reaching a weight of about 265lbs. Needing a change, on his 30th birthday he took his first Crossfit on-ramp class. He “earned it” about 1.5 rounds into the beginner wod, and immediately new that this was for him. Fast forward 4 years, he has since become a level 1 CrossFit coach, as well as a CrossFit kids coach. CrossFit has, literally, transformed his life, and he relishes the opportunity to use his experiences to do the same for others.
