Soon after, he discovered his true talent for bull-riding where he travelled and earned many awards and trophies. Matt was an avid fisherman and loved getting dirty at the mud bogs. His passion was his children. He loved to teach his girls to rope, fish and how to just be cow-girls. He also loved being blessed with a son that looked just like him. Matt devoted night and day to making sure his son was thriving in his development and ensuring he had abundant playtime. He loved his kids more than anything.
