One of Florida’s most frequent speakers on legal matters, Matt is grateful for often being invited by bar, civic, and other organizations to present on myriad topics.
Apart from law, one of Matt’s favorite things is running. He loves to run. He has completed more than 60 marathons, including one in each of the 50 states. He has run many of the country’s largest marathons, such as Boston, New York, Chicago, Walt Disney World, Marine Corps, and Houston, but his favorite ones have been the smaller races in the heartland. Matt has coached marathon runners for years and has led long-distance relay teams from coast to coast. Sometimes during a trial, or even before big appellate arguments, Matt likes to sneak off for a mind-clearing run.
