He enjoys talking sports not just for competition but for camaraderie, personal growth, and success stories. Outside the clinic, Ray enjoys reading books on psychology, always looking for ways to better understand excellence, outliers, behavior, and grit. Random fact: he once won first place at a rifle-shooting competition with over 200 competitors, despite having no prior rifle experience.

Since then, Matthew has spent several years working exclusively with upper extremity injuries and impairments. During that time, Matthew worked as the in-house therapist and splint fabricator for several doctors and hand surgeons in Arizona, which has given him direct insight into the post-operative healing and recovery process, as well as helped him develop close relationships with some of the best doctors. He obtained the prestigious Certified Hand Therapist certification in 2023 - a distinction shared by only a few thousand individuals on the entire planet, none of which provide in-home therapy services in Arizona. This certification demonstrates that Matthew has extensive knowledge of upper extremity anatomy and kinesiology, which help him create specific treatment plans to rehabilitate any upper extremity condition. His expertise in hand therapy and the treatment for any type of upper extremity ailment is unmatched to any other organization. Matt is joining the amazing team at Optimal Therapy as an Occupational Therapist! Ready to make a difference and help people achieve their best lives! In his free time, Matthew loves to go hiking, camping, as well as playing sports to stay active. Matthew is a proud husband and loving father to 3 beautiful children.

I’m deeply passionate about helping patients recover from hand and upper extremity injuries so they can get back to the activities they love. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me taking advantage of the Nevada landscape—hiking, biking, camping, and climbing.
