Matt came to Alaska 25 years ago while employed by an oilfield service company while working on the development and production of energy resources. Since 1992, Matt has worked as a medical practice administrator, and for the past 12 years has been a business owner operating a consulting business for medical practices.

As an NRA Life Member and Alaskan Bowhunter's Association Life member, and an avid sportsman, Matt places great value on Alaska's outdoor opportunities, the diverse culture of Alaska and its resourceful and independent people. He will represent Alaska's values with enthusiasm and provide a new perspective while representing all Alaskans while in Washington.
