Matt grew up playing sports - primarily soccer, track and field, and lacrosse. When Matt graduated from college he dreamed of working for a professional sports team and becoming the next pro soccer player, Tony Menola. While sports are an important part of Matt's life, so is his secret love of theatre. Grease was Matt's very first audition and something that he kept secret from his friends. Matt has always loved Grease and grew up in a house filled with 1950's nostalgia. Matt's parents are both dance teachers and have encouraged him to dance and sing over the years. Matt is especially close to his dad as they share many things in common including their sense of humor and a love of sports and music. Matt is lucky to have supportive parents who instilled confidence and the belief that he can achieve anything he sets his mind to. Despite not having any formal training, Matt looks at his Grease experience the same way he looks at practicing for any sport - he knows it will take hard work both physically and mentally and he is prepared for the strong competition and his second chance. Some of Matt's favorite musicals include Rent, Grease, and Hairspray.
