“There are only two reasons people don’t follow their dreams … either they don’t think their dream will work or they don’t think they will “

After a successful tour of duty in the U.S. Marine Corps, Matt spent the next 13 years of his life in the music business running a small record label. He was fortunate to create a very comfortable existence for himself through music. He enjoyed many of life’s luxuries until a series of events (the “dot com crash,” the devastation left by 9/11 and the advancement of music downloading) quickly rendered his entire business obsolete.

He found himself at age 34 flat broke, and having to start life over. “If you’ve ever made a lot of money and lost it, you can relate. It’s a very uncomfortable, disheartening experience. Things got so bad for me that I found myself bagging groceries for six months”.  He couldn’t believe where he had ended up.  He had gone from living a life that consisted of six-figure months, weekend getaways and fine dining, to nights at home with the television and a Cup-of-Noodles.

“I was in dire need of a Do Over.”

Matt credits his faith in God, a poignant prayer at the height of his despair and a revealed path for his “Do Over”.
