Originally from Western Ohio, Matthew found Chautauqua County like most Ohioans do, on a family vacation! After spending the next few years vacationing on Chautauqua Lake, Matthew knew this would be home for the long-term.
Before calling Chautauqua County home, Matthew attended college at Ball State University in Indiana, After achieving his Bachelor’s in Marketing and Communications where he simultaneously obtained his New York real estate license in 2013, Matthew’s next stop was lakeside Ashville, NY.

Among other awards, Matthew has been recognized as Howard Hanna’s “Rising Star”, Chautauqua-Cattaraugus County Board of Realtors Diamond Award, a consistent multi-million dollar producer, as well as being recognized as one of the top 5% of real estate agents in the country. In 2014 Matthew was offered an opportunity to take his skillset to New York City selling at a prestigious luxury boutique real estate firm.
