He graduated from the University of Washington with honors and played Husky football. He studied law at the Northwestern School of Law of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon and worked for two years handling medical malpractice cases in Portland before returning to Seattle in 1999.

In addition to his legal credentials, Matt was certified as an emergency medical technician and whitewater rafting guide. Outside the office, Matt keeps busy chasing after his two sons, traveling the world and trying to correct an “overly athletic” golf swing.
