No one will remember you for something you didn’t do

be unique, take risks


Having earned his Bachelor of Architecture in Design from the University of Illinois at Chicago, he practiced as an intern architect in Denver for eleven years, gaining experience in healthcare and commercial architecture before going out on his own. Matt worked for his father, who owns a custom home-building business in central Illinois, to complement his architectural background. Matt helped build fifteen custom homes from the ground up and worked on countless remodel jobs.

Nothing worth doing is ever easy

and if so, something is wrong


I earned it the hard and honest way

through persistence, trial, and error
