Matt graduated with honors with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Regis University out of Denver, Colorado in 2017.
Prior to physical therapy school, he attended the University of Wyoming on a full-ride academic scholarship and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and Health Promotion.
Matt opened Elevate208 after serving Kootenai County for the past 3 years and Spokane for 4 years prior to that, both in orthopedic clinics.
He combines his extensive manual therapy skills (including functional dry needling, joint manipulation/mobilizations, soft tissue massage, and IASTM) with patient education, biomechanical analysis, and corrective exercises to guide his patients back to a symptom-free life.

Matt had the opportunity to grow up in both Montana and Wyoming. His work background includes landscaping, farming, and even bird farming.
He discovered Kootenai County in 2017 after completing physical therapy school and met his wife, Madison, at Heart of the City Church in CDA.
Madison is a former first grade teacher and currently runs childcare/tutoring services out of their home.
In March of 2024, Matt and Madison welcomed their son, Maverick, into the world. They are so in love with him and look forward to growing their family in the years to come.
Outside of work, Matt loves spending time with his wife and son, as well as friends and family, enjoying outdoor activities like hiking, camping, rock climbing, snowboarding, and hunting. He and his wife are also active in their local church ministry and are committed to serving the Kootenai County community.
Matt is a God-fearing, Bible-believing conservative who loves this country and the great state of Idaho because of the blessings and freedoms afforded to us.
