Matt is an active parishioner at St. Aloysius Catholic Church and deeply rooted in his local community.
In 2025, Matt was ranked #17 among over 3,400 agents—an impressive testament to his dedication, expertise, and results-driven approach. He leads a small but mighty team known for leveraging cutting-edge technology and streamlined systems. His full-time staff includes Taylor Sholmire, his executive assistant and transaction coordinator; Favio, a licensed buyer associate; and Patrick, a dedicated field tech and buyer assistant.

Matt's real estate journey began in 2005 with RE/MAX Honolulu, where he contributed to the fastest-growing franchise in the California-Hawaii region. He played a key role in opening a second office in West Oahu, gaining early insight into global franchise expansion and branding strategy. After doubling and then tripling his closed sales volume at RE/MAX, Matt joined Keller Williams Red Stick Partners on Bluebonnet Boulevard in late 2018. Joining the #1 Brokerage paired with cutting edge technology, a unique culture focused on God, Family then Business. Gaining access to partner-agents in every zip code across the country was the rocket fuel that allowed him to scale his business to new heights. Since joining KW, he has consistently ranked among the Top 100 agents in his board and Top 2% in the country.
Matt is a 2003 alumni of Catholic High School and holds a Bachelor’s degree in General Studies from Louisiana State University, with minors in Business Administration, Mass Communication, and Psychology. In 2005, he expanded his academic experience through a semester abroad at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, studying International Real Estate and Social Media. A first-time homeowner and investor at just 19—just before Hurricane Katrina and during the early stages of the housing crisis—Matt gained invaluable experience in real estate finance, property management, design, and marketing. This early trial by fire shaped the foundation of his successful career.
Matt is a proud member of the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors, the Louisiana Realtors Association, and the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of Realtors, allowing him to serve clients from the West Bank of New Orleans to the Atchafalaya Basin. To date, Matt has closed over 300 transactions—and counting, making him one of the most trusted and accomplished agents in the region.
