Matthew was born and raised in Plano, Texas, graduated from Plano East Senior High School in 2013 and went to college at the University of Arkansas where he received a Bachelor of Political Science in 2017.
While in Arkansas, he learned about The First Tee and began working as a sales associate selling buckets of golf balls for the public driving range at The First Tee of Northwest Arkansas’ facility. After quickly learning how much of an impact the program has on young people, he became an assistant coach where he was more hands on in the planning and teaching of lessons.
Six short months after graduating and moving to Dallas, he began at The First Tee of Greater Dallas as the Northern Outreach Manager, and he has now transitioned into the role of Manager of National School Programs.
Outside of golf, Matthew really enjoys spending his time playing/watching other sports, such as hockey, basketball, and football. He also enjoys lounging around with his cat, Jango, and dog, Addy while playing video games.
