Competitor bio:

Matt is from sunny San Diego where he currently has a demanding yet rewarding job in the biopharmaceutical industry developing drugs for rare diseases. Over the last 12 years he has dabbled in endurance races, mostly participating in local triathlons and marathons. Every few years he combines his interest in endurance races with his passion for international travel. Past adventures include IronMan South Africa and the Jungle Marathon, a 7-day foot race through the Amazon. Matt is looking forward to running all seven continents and then getting back to a normal schedule to have more time for family, friends and the piano.
