What stands out about Matthew is his very high level of personal and professional freedom even with such a large team and so much to do.

- Time each week to coach his son's and his daughter's baseball and softball teams.
- Eight (8) vacations each year with his family that Matt refers to as "non-negotiable".
** You'll be impressed, and maybe a little envious, when you hear the details for a trip he planned with his family seven days after our interview. Wow! - A spur of the moment trip to play golf with friends in Pebble Beach, California.
