Before beginning his real estate career, Matt served six years on active duty in the United States Marine Corps in ground intelligence and security roles, completing extended tours in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, including service with Task Force Grizzly during Operation Desert Storm and counternarcotics operations with Joint Task Force Six.
