Out of the office Matt likes to spend time with his wife enjoying his own home-brew on tap, which is conveniently located in his kitchen. Prior to his career in construction, Matt had serious aspirations to be a drummer in a rock n’ roll band. Fortunately for Columbia, he has come a long way from his sixth grade class where he was voted most likely to become a basketball mascot.
