Everyone who knew Matt will miss him. I remember a conversation at a BBB event at Travelers Pub in Portage, MI, where Matt was talking about his business, and you could see his dedication and passion. He had a way of drawing you into his story and making you feel a part of it.

We met Matt only one time where he had a booth displaying his remarkable treasures of sharks teeth.

I’m deeply saddened to hear about Matt’s passing. We pledged together back in 2003, and I’ll always cherish the memories we shared at Phi Alpha Pi. Rest in peace, brother sending thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult time.
