In sports, people may falsify their age to make themselves appear younger thus enabling them to compete at a higher level. This is exactly what happened to Matt when he was 10 years old and registered as a minor mite with the St. Jude Knights organization. The age shaving committed by his parents allowed Matt to excel and dominate youth hockey in the Chicagoland area for many years. When teammates suspected something was amiss and confronted the young superstar his pewee year, he freaked out and asserted his dominance over his teammates in the locker room. When the authorities were called, one representative said, "what we uncovered during our investigation will haunt me for the rest of my life." After that year and a national championship to boot, Matt was ostracized and sent out East to make a new home and test his abilities against stronger competition. Matt flourished again but even with a five-year advantage over his competition, he struggled to catch the eye of D1 scouts. Instead he managed to land a spot on an up and coming D3 school called Manhattanville. Matt performed well over his four years athletically but struggled with his grades. Some say he may have never actually graduated. After a cup of coffee playing pro hockey, he was ready to come home and dominate the local Chicago men's leagues and bar scene. With his age advantage he took the scoring title in many local leagues and preyed on young women from all over the Midwest. He's had his ups and downs the last few years but is ready for a major comeback in 2021 at the age of 40. Pink Monkey is glad to have him rostered and expect big things from the real estate icon. In Matt's spare time, he enjoys walking his doodle and playing dad to his beautiful daughter and husband to his wonderful wife.
