Getting to Know Matt:
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Sunday afternoon naps while “watching” golf or another sport. It’s the best sleep ever!
How do you relax after a hard day at work?
I enjoy the outdoors and exploring, so for me, a relaxing afternoon is spending time outside. That could range from gardening in the yard, hiking in a local park, fishing with my kids, or playing golf.
What food do you crave most often?
Mexican. Street tacos or carnitas… so delicious!
