His legal journey also includes valuable experience as a law clerk at the Santa Clara County and Santa Cruz County District Attorney's Offices, as well as a judicial clerkship in the Family and Probate division of the Sacramento Superior Court.

Outside of his legal practice, Matthew enjoys a vibrant family life in San Luis Obispo with his wife, Stacey, their three young children, and their two fluffy dogs. When he isn't providing counsel to clients, he can often be found spending quality time with his family at Avila Beach, enjoying bocce ball at Baileyana Winery, attending services at Active Church in SLO, or indulging in his love for basketball and golf.
