His lessons and tactics in class caught the eyes of his peers and he was honored with Beginning teacher of the year for the state of Florida, National Teacher of the Year for the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Walmart Teacher of the Year, and Social Studies Teacher of the Year for Brevard Public Schools. As a coach, Matt thrived through motivation and team building for multiple sports and was honored as Brevard Public Schools Coach of the Year for taking a wrestling team to an undefeated season.
