At UCF, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies degree with concentrations in Health, Life, and Biomedical Sciences. Matt went on to earn his Master of Emergency and Crisis Management degree, which sparked his interest in law, leading him to Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Florida. Before joining Kirwin Norris, Matthew gained valuable experience as a law clerk for a regional insurance defense firm. During his time there, he worked on cases across various practice areas, including construction defect, construction premises liability, property insurance coverage, bodily injury liability, and auto glass litigation.
