About Matt
At 28 years old, I had everything I had ever dreamed of—a successful career in healthcare, a loving wife, and the vision of a bright future. But life had a different plan. One morning, I woke up with a numbness in my feet. Within days, I could no longer walk. The world I had built—full of ambition and certainty—was suddenly crumbling beneath me. My journey led to a diagnosis that would change everything: multiple sclerosis (MS).
My body failed me, but I refused to let my spirit break. I faced despair, but I found hope. I battled fear, but I discovered faith. I lost control, but I reclaimed my power. Through the darkest moments, I learned that resilience isn’t about avoiding adversity—it’s about finding strength in the struggle.
I and audiences alike find Matt’s talks to be inspirational, motivational, humorous, and sometimes emotionally stirring. In my career, I have never observed a better speaker than Matt.

A Mission Rooted in Purpose
I don’t just share my story—I use it to inspire, educate, and empower others facing their own battles. Whether it’s chronic illness, life’s unexpected setbacks, or personal struggles, my mission is to help people find hope in hardship, faith in fear, and purpose in pain.
Through my books, speaking engagements, and advocacy, I offer more than just encouragement—I provide real-world strategies for navigating life’s toughest challenges with grace, resilience, and unwavering determination.
Most impressive was how Matt captivated his audience with his storytelling capabilities that had them laughing one minute and reaching for a tissue the next.
