In 2016, Matt began his endeavor as Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ACU Development INC., franchisor of MA Modern Acupuncture. As the first acupuncture franchise concept, Matt led Modern Acupuncture to quickly become one of the fastest growing franchises in the health and wellness industry. The explosive growth gained attention and impressive ranking status in the franchise industry, including the coveted cover of Franchise Times.

Prior to that time, Matt was both Vice President of Operations and a founding member of the management team at The Joint Chiropractic, with the likes of the founder of Massage Envy.

Matt’s leadership in the development of a strategic operational infrastructure played an integral part in growing the brand from eight units in 2010 to more than 340 open in 27 states in a six-year period. He was also a key member of the team that took the company public in 2014. Matt has also owned and operated his own franchise restaurant, giving him a deep understanding of franchising that he draws upon as CEO of MA Modern Acupuncture.
