Matt graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. Then in 2023, Matt graduated from Chapman University and earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy. His passion for physical therapy began when he volunteered at a hospital outpatient while in high school. The ability to implement exercise into healthcare immediately captured his interest and his passion grew as he studied at Cal State Fullerton and acquired work experience as a PT aide. Matt believes the best part about physical therapy is utilizing his skills to help patients return to everyday life and progress to higher feats. He shares this passion for coaching as he has been a tennis coach for 12 years. He was an avid player in high school and played part-time in college but spent a lot of time teaching and developing players. Being an expert in tennis mechanics and training, Matt specializes in rehabilitating tennis and pickleball players. Outside of his profession, Matt enjoys working out in the gym, playing tennis and pickleball, hiking, and traveling with his fiance.
