LinkedIn Profile

From structured military command to the complexities of large-scale capital, his professional journey has been defined by one mission: strategic execution. As a Managing Partner at Phoenix Capital Solutions, he doesn’t just manage portfolios; he helps investors engineer their financial legacies. Matthew’s foundation was built over 25 years of service as a reserve Army Officer, including five years deployed overseas. That experience instilled a level of discipline and risk assessment that is rare in the private sector. Transitioning into the financial engine room, he’s navigated the intricacies of farm and ranch loan originations, large-scale construction projects, and the technical formation of Public Improvement Districts (PIDs). Having also served as a construction Project Manager, he possesses a literal "ground-up" understanding of how capital transforms into tangible infrastructure. He believes that every investor’s goal requires a unique blueprint. Whether navigating the high-stakes world of commercial development or seeking to stabilize and grow private wealth, he leverages his background in both finance and construction to identify the right levers for success. Whatever vision for your capital may be, he is here to explore the options that turn those objectives into reality.
