Having participated in the acquisition and sales of the properties he has managed, Matt especially enjoys identifying value and helping buyers and sellers find the perfect match.
Matt is from the Midwest, but fell in love with the West as a young boy living in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. After high school, Matt attended the Montana Guide Training Center in northwest Montana, confirming his true passion for the American West. After guide school, Matt moved to Big Sky, Montana, turning the next decade into an adventurous career as a professional big game hunting and fishing guide, both in Montana and Alaska. In 2004, Matt signed on with the then-emerging Yellowstone Club, heading up their horse program. Soon afterward, he developed the outfitting program for the neighboring Club at Spanish Peaks, operating a winter horse-drawn sleigh program and leading summer horse pack trips into Yellowstone National Park. Matt continues to go afield with friends and clients alike, and is a licensed Montana Outfitter with big game, waterfowl, upland bird, and livestock endorsements.
Matt lives with his wife, Julie, and their two children in Bozeman, Montana. Up for any adventure, Matt is an avid skier, hunter, and horseman. Matt enjoys flying as a private pilot and has discovered sailing. But he loves nothing more than camping with his family and cooking for them over a campfire any chance he can get.
