Speaker's bio:
As a five year old, Matt dreamed of playing professional baseball - a dream that eventually became a reality. He spent five years in the minor leagues with the Kansas City Royals, four as a catcher and one as a pitcher, playing alongside current big leaguers like Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas and learning from Hall of Famers like George Brett and Brett Saberhagen. During those years, he learned what it takes to go from good to great, and from great to elite. He used that experience to earn top performer status in just a couple years at Kforce, where he ran Burlington’s temporary finance and accounting staffing division. Today, he’s a financial advisor for Beck Bode, an independent wealth management firm in Dedham, and is building their athlete division.
