MATT'S BIOGRAPHY
"Born And Raised In Boston, Massachusetts, I Grew Up In The Automotive World. My Father Was A Body Man Specializing In Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Customs, And Corvettes, And Our Home Sat Right Next To His Shop. With My Mother Running The Office, I Spent Most Of My Childhood In The Shop—Doing Homework On A Milk Crate, Passing Tools, And Learning The Trade Firsthand."
"I Followed That Path By Attending Vocational High School For Auto Body. After Losing Both Of My Parents At 17, I Was Forced To Grow Up Quickly And Began Working Full Time By 18. Over The Next 32 Years, I Built My Career In Auto Body, Restorations, And Custom Work, Continually Refining My Skills Until Relocating To Florida At Age 50."
"After Moving To Florida With My Corvette, I Connected With Jason Labonte Through A Chance Facebook Marketplace Interaction. As Fellow Massachusetts Natives With Shared Values, Work Ethic, And Pride In Craftsmanship, Our Friendship Grew. As Legendary’s Corvette Business Expanded, I Was Invited To Join The Team In Preparation For A Dedicated Corvette Facility—And That Journey Brings Us To Today."
"I’m Currently A Single Father Of Two. My Adult Son, Christian, Works In The Automotive Industry Here In Fort Myers, And I Have Full Custody Of My Younger Daughter, Leana. At Home, We Share Life With Our Two Shiba Inu Dogs, Tenko And Autumn. I’m Detail-Oriented, Organized, And Take Pride In A Clean, Healthy Lifestyle. Home Is My Favorite Place To Be, With Car Shows And Great Restaurants Being My Go-To Outings."
