Coach Matt
Matt grew up in New Jersey, where he first found the sport running track and cross country. A relentless front-runner who attacked every hill and never faded on the back half, his teammates gave him a name that stuck for life: "The Green Leaf Beast."
After high school he chased the miles across the world. He spent years living, training, and racing internationally — primarily in Japan, where he fell for the country's deep running culture, its mountain trail circuits, and its legendary cycling routes. From early-morning marathon starts in Tokyo to long-distance rides along the Shimanami Kaidō and the roads winding beneath Mt. Fuji and across Hokkaido, Matt learned that endurance is built on patience, consistency, and a genuine love of the journey.
Today he brings that same energy home to the Travel Bandwagon Run Club — meeting every athlete exactly where they are, and helping them go somewhere they never thought they could.
