"If home is where your heart is, my heart is on Cape Cod."

Matthew was born and raised on Cape Cod. When he was 16, he started working at the concession stands with the Steamship Authority in Woods Hole. That is where he fell in love with being on the ocean. In the future, Matthew hopes to learn to sail to continue his passion for being on the water.

In 2009, he switched jobs and landed a new gig at Starbucks. In 2015, Matthew moved off Cape Cod for the Greater Boston Area to continue his growth within the Starbucks company, eventually moving up to the role of Store Manager in 2016. Within that time, he lived in Melrose, Lawrence, and Waltham before settling in Quincy with his fiancée, Bobby. After being with Starbucks for 12 years, Matthew received the opportunity to get into catering and event sales with MAX Ultimate Food. But his passion has always been for real estate and architecture, which lead him to pursue a career at Unit Realty Group. 

He was exposed to the Cape's fantastic arts programs from a young age. He performed in countless shows with Falmouth Theatre Guild and Cotuit Center for the Arts stages. 

Although he no longer performs, Matthew is passionate about staying involved in the arts around Boston. He is a member of The Huntington Theatre Company's young donor's group, "The Hunt." In addition to season tickets to Huntington's shows, Matthew and his fiancée also have season tickets to the Boston Ballet and Broadway in Boston. A few times a year, Matthew will also travel to New York to see some of the latest shows on Broadway.

When Matthew is not working or seeing shows, you can find him visiting family and friends and seeing his favorite places and restaurants on the Cape. He loves to explore and learn about the history of each area he travels to.
