Our Team

Matt brings a unique and diverse background to The C.O.R.E. Group. Matt grew up in Northwest Montana, and moved to Spokane in 1990. He attended Gonzaga University, graduating with a degree in accounting in 1995, and successfully passed the entire CPA exam that May on his first sitting.

Matt lived and worked overseas in Bulgaria for three years, and upon his return, worked as a tax accountant, cost accountant, and controller/CFO for a construction company. While Matt was successful at accounting for day-to-day activities and making projections, he desired to move into a field where he could work one-on-one with people to help them plan for strong financial futures. Matt began his career in the financial services industry in 2001 specializing in retirement planning, estate planning, and insurance planning.

He lives with his wife, Rumiana, and four children; Yulita, Alex, Kylie, and Nikita. In his spare time, Matt enjoys spending time at the family getaway in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
