Meet Matt

Matt Matkovich ​is a proud full-time high school Guidance Counselor in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education and a Master’s Degree in School Guidance and Counseling. Matt is beyond fortunate for his wife (Bridget), his two sons (Ben and Will), and family who are extremely supportive in all of his passions. Outside of professional speaking and working in a school, Matt thoroughly enjoys the simple times with his wife and children, watching the (2016 World Series Champions) Chicago Cubs, and focusing on fitness and nutrition. Matt strives to live his life by following a simple, three step motto: Be Nice, Work Hard, and Stay Confident.

“M&P are two dynamic, uplifting, and motivating speakers. They present in a way that instantly breathes positive energy into a room. They reveal confidence from their audience by presenting in a way that enriches, empowers, and entertains throughout the entire presentation.”
