About Matthew

I was born and raised in Muncie, IN where I attended my hometown college Ball State University majoring in Business & Sport Administration. I started my sales & customer service career working in professional sports with minor league affiliates of the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres. An opportunity to work with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led me to relocating to the Gulf Coast. I then moved to Bradenton in 2011 to work for the world-renowned IMG Academy, where I spent the last 11 years overseeing the global sales and service division for boarding school, camps, team training, events, and the IMG Legacy Hotel. While at IMG I had the incredible fortune of working with teams and families from around the globe on coming to our destination for short periods of time as well as relocating permanently at a record setting pace year in and year out. A career highlight for me was opening the first ever IMG Academy global sales office in China which led to opening additional offices in Japan, South Korea, Spain, Mexico, and Brazil. Throughout my time here I have fallen in love with the area and started working in real estate via buying, selling, renovating, and investing. That experience combined with my passion for competing on behalf of others, working with clients from around the world, and the lifestyle our community provides led me to pursing realty full-time. Anchored by my "Hoosier Hospitality" roots my clients are treated like family and I look forward to providing each and everyone of them the world class experience they deserve while working relentlessly to find the perfect opportunity that meets their needs and goals. I'm proud to have made this paradise home and to share this journey with my family. My wife, Erin, works in Elementary Education and together we have 3 children – Alexa, Nolan, & Brooks. When we are not at the parks or ballfields you can find us embracing the Florida lifestyle and all it has to offer!
