Matthew in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

I’m an avid chess player.

How do you give back?

I volunteer as an instructor for Hofstra University’s branch of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, training volunteers in tax law so they can prepare tax returns for free for low-income individuals.

Any words you try to live by?

“Great changes may not happen right away, but with effort, even the difficult may become easy.” — Bill Blackman
