Matt has been in the OPEX model of fitness for 3 years through a remote coaching program with Bryan St. Andrews at OPEX State College.  Through exploring the benefits of the OPEX model, Matt began to realize that his passion for fitness and health could be fully realized by introducing the OPEX model to others.

Matt graduated from West Virginia University in 2019 with a bachelor degree in Business Administration.  In his years at WVU, he made Dean’s List and graduated with honors.  During his college career, Matt was introduced to the sport of functional fitness and quickly fell in love.  He became a coach at a local CrossFit box and has coached there for 3 years.  Also, he has competed in the sport of CrossFit at the regional, national, and international levels.

Matt has experience with all aspects of the OPEX model from his competitive and coaching careers.  He has knowledge in various nutritional methods and has an excellent understanding of what it takes to begin to nourish your body through food.  With his mother being a physical therapist and spending many hours in local clinics as a P.T. aid, he has increased his knowledge of the human body and how it functions.  Additionally, he experienced some techniques to making the human body move in the correct ways through rehabilitating exercises.  Finally, his experience in the OPEX model and in the competitive atmosphere has helped him realize that everyone’s needs are varied.  He understands that everyone has their own goals and needs for the functions of their lives, and he wants to help everyone reach their fullest life potential.

Matt continuously seeks to learn and expand his knowledge and understanding of how fitness can help improve his client’s total lifestyle and achieve their fullest potential.
