Matt is originally from Virginia Beach, VA and moved to the Keys in 2012. Shortly after, he became a CrossFit athlete and few months later, a full-time Coach at CrossFit Mile Zero. He loved the community of athletes in the Keys because they provided him with 10 years of fitness, laugher and PR dances (we’re really excited to see those again).
Matt’s specialty is Olympic Weightlifting, an area of interest he has pursued with additional education and certifications over the years.
Three kids later and after a brief coaching hiatus, Matt is now a Monroe County Firefighter. On his days off from the firehouse, he returns to CrossFit to coach and get his own fitness in.
Matt’s belief in CrossFit is driven by the connection between consistent health and fitness and living a healthy life of fun and adventure with family. He lifts heavy barbells so he can toss his kids as high as possible in the swimming pool. His own family, both local and afar, are heavily immersed in the CrossFit community so it has become a way of life he plans to model for his kids for years to come.
