Matt earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, in 2002, with a specialty track in sports medicine. He also played soccer for the Broncos. Legend has it that he was pretty good with his left foot.
Shortly after graduation, Matt became a certified athletic trainer (ATC). He has had the opportunity to work with athletes across many levels, from youth, high school, and collegiate sports to professionals and Olympians.
