Before joining Tonka Financial in 2015, Matthew had a distinguished career in the Hospitality Industry, where he spent 10 years managing and addressing business challenges as a Food and Beverage Manager at one of the largest hotels on the Eastern Coast of the United States.
Upon returning to Minnesota, Matthew sought a new career path that would still allow him to serve and assist others. In his time with Tonka Financial Services, he has developed a substantial portfolio in Group Benefits, Individual/Family healthcare and Medicare business, earned his registration as an Investment Advisor Representative, and gained expertise in Wealth Management Asset Allocation Strategies, contributing to the firm’s success.
As the branch specialist for executing ATS (Advanced Time Segmentation), Matthew focuses on supporting new, affluent clients interested in Tonka Financial Services’ practices and management. He also collaborates with group clients, providing employee retention benefits such as group retirement planning, healthcare, and other ancillary products to enhance employer offerings.
Matthew resides in Minneapolis with his wife, Nicole, and their three dogs: Ezra and Freyja, a pair of Daniffs (Great Dane/English Mastiff Mix), and Meera. He enjoys being active outdoors, camping with family and friends and going on family walks.
