Although he has distinguished himself at Caddell Reynolds, the law was not always Matt’s primary ambition. His first wish was to play professional football. He decided to pursue law when he discovered he was too small to play in the National Football League. “I decided I could take my competitive spirit to the courtroom,” he said.

He also likes cooking, eating, concert-going, Harley riding, snowboarding, and watching football.
