Matthew always felt he had a charmed life, until he didn't anymore. Despite being newly married and having a career in sport that he loved, in 2006 depression knocked him off his feet. He almost didn't get up.

Upon recovering, Matthew's life continued along its charmed path and he landed a job in boxing, his lifelong passion. He met and worked with some of the biggest names in British boxing. He became father to two beautiful children. What more could a man want? But it didn't stop depression from pounding on him some more, and in 2013 he hit the canvas harder than he ever had before.

Again, he got back up, but life wasn't finished with him yet. In 2014 his marriage collapsed and his life as he knew it was turned upside down.

In 2015 Matthew hit back, by taking up his pen and writing. He discovered a new passion, and a talent that he never knew he had. Writing led to many new opportunities culminating in the publication of his first book in December 2017, the bestselling 'Something Changed: Stumbling Through Divorce, Dating & Depression'.

Now Matthew wants to use his experiences to inspire others to reach their goals and to become the greatest versions of themselves. To find greater purpose and meaning, and to become the champions of their own lives that they were born to be.
