Hey there. I’m Matt.

I’m married to Chris Evans. Yep, that Chris Evans—the one who is not a movie star. Between us we have four grown children. Due to a complicated spiritual upbringing and a serious lack of courage, I remained in the closet for a very long time. But in 2016, my older sister died of metastatic breast cancer, which was a turning point for me. With her death came an awakening; that life is short and my desire to live as my authentic self was a good thing…was the only thing. By the end of 2017, I was divorced and began a new chapter of life in the LGBTQ+ community.

During my coming out, as well as beforehand, therapy and coaching played a significant role in managing the ups and downs of life…as well as processing the parts of life I didn’t understand. 

I’m not a therapist, though I’m well aware those lines can blur from time to time. Therapy is most often characterized by digging into the past to reveal wounds we may not know are within us. Coaching is about the present. Where are you today? What changes can be made to give you the life you desire? As a life coach, my goal with clients is to be a personal guide in helping them discover and take hold of the life they’ve always wanted.

I’m a 2 on the Enneagram, which are “the helpers.” They are characterized as caring, generous, and demonstrative. On the Myers Briggs personality profile, I’m an ENFP also known as “the campaigner.” ENFPs have extroverted personalities, but are intuitive feelers.

Over the years, I’ve coached a broader list of clients from successful business leaders and people struggling with substance abuse to high schoolers and people who desire to move foreard in their lives. But after several years in the gay community, I began to feel a pull to narrow my coaching focus to gay men who wanted a more peaceful life, a strong sense of self-worth, and a meaningful and lasting love relationship (if that’s something they desire).

I’ve heard many stories of gay men who’ve been abandoned by family members and friends, experienced hate crimes because of their sexuality, been marginalized in their communities, demeaned on dating apps, cheated on in romantic relationships, condemned by churches or spiritual leaders, etc. Trust me, you’re not alone. These painful experiences have left many of us broken and feeling hopeless.

BUT THERE IS A WAY OUT.

There was for me and there is for you. No one can do it for you. The responsibility is yours.

I’d like to help.

Think about it. Maybe it’s time for a change.

Maybe it’s time to move forward.
