Matt’s Michigan Why
Michigan has always been more than a place to me. It’s home, it’s family, and it’s a lifelong tradition.
With deep family ties to the state and countless memories of Saturdays spent cheering in the Big House, my connection to the maize and blue extends far beyond football. Michigan represents passion, perseverance, tradition, and a sense of belonging that stays with you no matter where life takes you.
Throughout my professional career, I’ve been fortunate to build meaningful relationships, connect people with opportunities, and create partnerships that make a difference. Serving as Director of Partnerships gives me the chance to bring those experiences together with something that has been part of my identity for as long as I can remember.
What excites me most is the opportunity to help fellow Wolverines stay connected, strengthen our presence throughout the Valley, and create partnerships that benefit our alumni community for years to come.
Michigan isn’t just somewhere you go. It’s something you carry with you.
I’m proud to be part of a community that embodies excellence, loyalty, and an unwavering commitment to one another. I’m honored to help build on that legacy here in Arizona.
Forever Go Blue! 〽️
