Matt started his college planning career in 2005 after realizing both he and his parents had made some major mistakes in navigating the college admissions and financial aid processes.
It became Matt’s mission to show other families how to avoid making similar mistakes in one of the biggest investments of their life. Today, Matt is recognized as one of the nation’s leading authorities within the College Funding niche. Matt has successfully guided thousands of families through the college financial aid maze. As Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of College Aid Pro, Matt continues his mission to help every family find an affordable path to college.
Matt grew up in the Birthplace of American Independence, otherwise known as Ipswich, MA. He graduated from Stonehill College in 2004 after enjoying a great career in the classroom, much less so on the football field.
When he’s not busy saving families from the college loan crisis, Matt enjoys hanging out with his wife Rosey, their daughter Emma, and their lab Tommy. They reside in Beverly, MA.
