Personal Notes
Dr. Matt lives in Kirkwood with his wife, Lisa and their son, Charlie. Dr. Matt and his wife have loved being back in the Midwest where they are closer to family and friends but on cold winter days or humid summer nights, they do sometimes miss the perfect warm weather that California had to offer. Like nearly all members of his family, Dr. Matt is a distance runner and enjoys running marathons (of which he has completed four). He also enjoys hiking, reading, traveling and all things related to the St. Louis Cardinals.
