Matt graduated from Pinson Valley High and then attended Samford University. At Pinson, he was on the basketball team and the track and cross-country teams. At Samford, he was on the track and cross-country teams during his freshman year.

He was father to twin sons Grant and Tyler (mother Cindy) and a daughter Lucy (Mother Jennifer).
