As an honor’s student and captain of his high school swim team, Matthew accepted a scholarship to Tulane University to study business management. At Tulane, Matthew again excelled academically and was inducted into the Phi Eta Sigma and Beta Gama Sigma honor societies.

While still in law school, Matthew met his wife, got married and had their first child. Upon graduation, he began his practice of law in Rockland County and eventually moved to Warwick, NY to raise his growing family. He presently practices law throughout the Hudson Valley, with a primary office in Goshen, NY. One of the truly nice guys, Matthew is constantly giving his time back to his community.

Happily married for the past 27 years, Matthew is a devoted family man, and talks with much pride about his children’s accomplishments. “I come from a line of lawyers”, he says. “My grandfather was the first, then my father and then me. The way it looks now, my youngest will be the next to follow in that line. On top of that, my eldest is an incredible computer programmer and my middle child a burgeoning entrepreneur.” I am very blessed by my family.
