The child of two CPAs, Matt seemed destined to work with numbers in some capacity. While accounting never appealed to Matt, business and finance did. A fortunate call from a teaching colleague at George Washington University led to the introduction to The Ross Group team in 2015— and the rest is history.

Matt thoroughly enjoys the investment and planning side of his advisor role to families. He believes all families can achieve realistic financial goals with a simple long-term plan, conservative investing, and management of their emotions. 

Prior to joining The Ross Group, Matt worked at FBR Capital Markets in its Institutional Equity Sales & Trading group and then at Fannie Mae as part of its Fixed Income Securities Marketing group. Matt has passed his Series 7 and 66 security exams. In 2014, Matt had the opportunity to join the GW Investment Institute as an adjunct professor of finance at George Washington University. Until 2023 he taught undergraduates securities analysis and helped guide them in management of the GW Student Investment Funds, which encompasses $3 million plus of the university’s endowment.

Matt is from Laytonsville, Maryland, and graduated from Good Counsel High School. He attended Cornell University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in communication, concentrating in applied economics and management. While attending Cornell, Matt was a four-year member of the Cornell baseball team and served as captain of the team his senior year. In 2012, Matt received his MBA from George Washington University with a concentration in finance.

During his free time, Matt enjoys teaching, cheering on Washington sports teams as well as his beloved Baltimore Orioles, and playing golf. He currently resides in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife, Carolyn, and three children, Liam, Margot, and Connor.
