Remodeling Carpenter Matt Young joined the Degnan team in 2024, as a second career. We asked him a few questions to get to know him.

Matt, what are some of your hobbies? I have a lot of hobbies, but not enough time in the day! I recently bought a fixer upper home and a lot of my time is spent remodeling that. If I'm not working on the house, you can find me riding my bike, playing golf, camping/backpacking, and enjoying the outdoors in general.

Where did you grow up? I grew up in the great state of Ohio, but don't worry I'm not a Buckeye. My hometown, Mansfield, is also where Shawshank Redemption was filmed.

So did you go to college? Yes, I graduated from Ohio University. Go Bobcats!

Matt was voted MPV for Q3 2024!

Tell us about your family! I have a wonderful girlfriend, Kenz, who brought into my life a lovely (soon to be) 5 year old goldendoodle, Wrigley.

Do you like to travel? Where have you been? Yes! I've been very fortunate to have traveled to Europe, Asia, and Central America. My favorite place that I've been is Prague, Czech Republic but visiting the Matterhorn with Kenz is definitely towards the top of my list.

What do you like to watch? If I'm not watching sports, you can usually find me watching This Old House

Do you have a favorite sport or exercise? Why? I dabble in a bit of everything, but my main sports are cycling, golf, and the gym. I recently joined Burn Boot Camp and it's been fun to challenge myself and be encouraged by such a great community.

How about any significant awards & achievements that you are proud of? Definitely most proud of my Eagle Scout award!
