Born on the banks of the Ohio River, Matthew grew up in Indiana. He attended Indiana University–Bloomington for his undergraduate degree. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he made a career pivot to the legal field. He attended Indiana University’s McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis. He was admitted to the Indiana bar in 2024. During his time as a legal professional, he has worked on both the plaintiff’s side and the defendant’s side. He has represented the both the metaphorical “Davids” and “Goliaths”. He is a member of the Indiana State Bar Association and the Indianapolis Bar Association. Matthew’s down-to-earth demeanor makes him easy to talk to and easy to understand. He cares deeply about his clients and their advocacy. When he is not fighting for his clients, he enjoys spending time with his family, being outside, and running.
