Prior to joining the ABC30 Action News team, Matthew was a digital producer at KTRK in Houston, where he was born. He also interned at the station the summer prior to landing a job.
He spent time in both the news and sports world, including contributing with digital content for the Houston Astros' 2019 World Series run. He has interviewed athletes such as Hakeem Olajuwon, Jose Altuve, DeAndre Hopkins and Adrian Peterson.
Matthew also spent time covering Texas Tech basketball and football for the Dallas Morning News.
