    Matt's professional career began at the age of nineteen, as a Savannah Railroad Conductor. While working on the railroad across the southeast, Matt served as Legislative Representative, a role in which he advocated for safe work conditions, engaged in local and state politics, and promoted economic development. Next, he was elected statewide to advocate on behalf of Railroad Employees and Retirees under the Gold Dome, proudly serving for thirteen legislative sessions.
