Born in Minot, North Dakota and raised in Rockford, Minnesota, Matt now lives in St. Cloud with his wife, whom he met while attending St. Cloud State University. Together, they’ve built a life centered on family and community.
Matt started college in the Air Force ROTC program at North Dakota State University studying Mechanical Engineering before earning his Bachelor of Science in Secondary Mathematics Education from St. Cloud State. He also holds a Master’s in Teaching and Learning from St. Mary’s University. After 20 years as a high school math teacher, Matt shifted to financial services, bringing his passion for education into his role as a financial advisor. He holds the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor CRPC® designation.
As a former client of Jacobs Financial, Matt experienced the firm’s care and family-first approach, which inspired him to join the team. Outside work, he enjoys golfing with his son, cheering on his daughter’s collegiate swimming, traveling, lake days, and live music with friends. He also loves making people laugh with his clever, or as his kids say, dad jokes.
Matt is a registered representative of Cetera Wealth Services, LLC, and investment adviser representative of Cetera Investment Advisers LLC.
