Cardozo School of Law, where he edited and wrote for the Cardozo Law Review, Matt has also written several articles on music industry issues.  

A few years ago, Matt acted as Executive Producer of Certifiably Jonathan, a feature comedy film starring recently of late comedy icon Jonathan Winters.  The film features a host of other comedians including Robin Williams and Howie Mandel.  More recently, Matt dove into the world of finance with Stealth Traders, whose mission is to empower traders all over the world to achieve consistent profitability by creating the most accurate indicators and comprehensive education.
