Today, Matthew’s entrepreneurial endeavors and nonprofit advocacy demonstrate his dedication to addressing real issues and offering guidance to various organizations.
Born in Kentucky and raised in South Florida, Matthew’s upbringing has given him a profound understanding of everyday Floridians' challenges. His family endured significant hardships, such as violence, poverty, and even more difficult for Matthew to navigate was his late father’s alcohol abuse. Nevertheless, Matthew’s mother, guided the family through these difficulties, instilling perseverance, fairness, and compassion in him. Matthew became the first in his family to pursue higher education and travel abroad.
Matthew and his fiancée, Rhonny Tufino, an Ecuadorian-American professional artist, have successfully established a media production company in Miami. They are dedicated to revitalizing the arts in our city and collaborate with some of Miami’s most renowned entertainment venues. Rhonny has played a pivotal role in Matthew’s life, and together, they provide steadfast support to each other, continually motivating each other to achieve their highest aspirations. They are a perfect balance between creativity and productivity. With nearly 10 years together, their ventures have brought them shared experiences, granting them valuable insights that enrich their perspective and allow them to promote diversity, inclusivity, and equality in our community. This is the foundational structure Matt carries with him every day.
​​
Matthew and Rhonny share a profound connection with the world, reflected in their dedication to Animal Welfare and their vegetarian lifestyle. They opened their home to Luna, a husky who was abandoned as a puppy, and now, at three years old, she is a cherished member of their family. Their commitment and compassion also span continents; they sponsor Jean, a young boy in Ecuador, ensuring he receives proper health care, education, and nutrition. This sponsorship is particularly meaningful to Matthew, who shares a birthday with Jean, adding a personal touch to their support.
Matthew’s Top Priorities are ensuring robust protection of fundamental rights, creating abundant economic opportunities, rebuilding trust in our institutions, and safeguarding our environment. He has a knack for turning big ideas into reality, and that’s exactly what he plans to do in Tallahassee and our district.
