Meet Matt

Matt, an internationally recognized luxury goods expert, is a native of Detroit, Michigan. He played collegiate football at the University of Tennessee before venturing into the home shopping industry as a host at the young age of 24. After his first job on national television, Matt professionally shopped the Tax and Duty Free markets in the Caribbean and Alaska as a luxury expert.

Matt has shopped in over 30 countries, with nearly a million people utilizing his expertise in brokering deals on jewelry, gemstones and timepieces. His relationships with some of the largest names in the industry combined with his rich knowledge served clients before finding his way to Gem Shopping.

“I am genuinely excited every time I walk in the studio at Gem Shopping. To experience top quality manufacturing and world class gemstones at the values we can offer is something the average consumer will never have the opportunity to enjoy!”, Matt said.

Matt’s genuine excitement and passionate energy shine through in every one of his shows, and his deep insights allow viewers to shop with confidence. Matt is both entertaining and educational, but what really drives him is the experience every Gem Shopping customer has when they try their piece on at home for the first time.

“Jewelry is deeply emotional and every piece speaks differently to it’s owner. I ask clients, ‘How does this piece make you feel? Does it bring you joy? Does it make you feel beautiful? Confident? Special?’. That rush and feeling is something you feel every time you wear your jewelry, so cherish it.” Matt laughs, “Some people say there isn’t a price tag you can put on that feeling, but I say they just don’t know where to shop.”

Matt lives in Tampa, Florida and enjoys spending time with family and friends when he is not on television or traveling the world in search of unique experiences, the finest cuisine and, of course, shopping.
