Matt has always been interested in money and finance, growing up around Financial Security Management Agency, Inc., which was founded by his father, Glen. Matt saw early in his life the impact of his father’s work. His eyes were really opened when he realized the financial differences between his grandparents, watching one set struggle some while the other set was able to thrive. This inspired him to get into the business to help all people.
