Matthew has extensive experience as an event planner, operations manager, and as a legal assistant. Matthew organized and managed major corporate events such as the Super Bowl, presidential elections, weddings and celebrity fundraisers.

Matthew is honored to be a member of the MIOCA Board and believes this is one of his most important callings as he lost his mother to ovarian cancer in 2015. He and his mother were inseparable and he was proud to call her his best friend. Matthew’s goal is to increase awareness of the ovarian cancer symptoms to all women so more sons can spend more time with their mothers. He takes pride in helping with MIOCA fundraising and assisting with MIOCA events and aspires to see a preventative test for ovarian cancer in his lifetime.
