Matthew earned his B.S. in Kinesiologyโthe study of human movementโfrom California State University, Monterey Bay. He is a Certified Personal Trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and a Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) Mobility Specialist.
An active lifestyle has always been central to Matthewโs life. Growing up, he competed in TaeKwonDo, martial arts, and soccer, later expanding his interests to badminton and cross-country running in high school. In college, he was a member of his universityโs menโs club volleyball team, further solidifying his passion for movement and performance.
In 2020, Matthew faced one of his greatest challenges when a car accident left him with a broken back. The grueling recovery process gave him a newfound appreciation for the power of strength and mobility in rehabilitation. This life-changing experience has shaped his approach to training, emphasizing resilience, functional strength, and enhancing overall well-being. He is passionate about helping clients build strong, capable bodies that can meet the demands of everyday life with confidence.
Before becoming a trainer, Matthew honed his skills in the kitchen, spending seven years as a chef in restaurants. Outside of the gym, he enjoys cooking, hiking, traveling, and indulging in a good horror movie.
