A little more about Matt:

At 38 years old his path to this point has been left of center but it didn’t start out that way. After receiving his college degree, Matt jumped right in and went to work in the residential and commercial real estate industry. A business that he’d seen his father Tom navigate so well over the course of his own 40 year career. It was the logical move and before long, success and the perks of hard work, had him reaping the benefits.

This is where life takes a turn. After a trip to Haiti to visit a friends orphanage things changed dramatically. Flying home from this adventure he knew there had to be more to this life than trying to accumulate the biggest war chest. Over the next few years this feeling was becoming louder and louder and something that could no longer be ignored.

He quit his job, downsized everything, sold his real estate portfolio of work and created a 501c3 to help young adults, children and families with cancer. A total shift, a 180 degree pivot but when you meet Matt you understand he’s doing exactly what he’s meant to do.

You can now find him as the president of the BeYOUtiful Foundation, a 501c3 NPO, dedicated to helping women of all ages with the harsh realities of cancer. This foundation takes hair donations and creates custom wigs for those that need a little extra love and support. He’s also launched 143 Collective, an umbrella company that’s designed to help others in a multitude of ways.

Assisting celebrities, athletes, business owners and other people of influence to carve out a unique and authentic way to support their favorite charitable causes. Through all of this Matt found art.

As you can imagine some of his days are difficult. Helping so many people deal with the devastating realities of cancer, over the years many have leaned on Matt and the foundations he’s help create. This is a heavy burden to carry but one Matt feels like he was put on this earth to do. Aware of the magnitude of these realities, Matt understood he needed to find an outlet for these emotions.

Driving home one night he ended up at a local art store and his journey started there. Not knowing anything he bought what looked good, got home and just let everything that’s been in his head pour out. He’s been doing this non-stop for the last 3 years and kept it pretty quite.

As time has gone by his apartment has turned into a full blown art studio. At the encouragement of his friends he started sharing his work little by little. His very first show is coming in 2020 and is titled “Don’t worry, we’re lovers”.
