The Stronger Runner

Coach Matt

Coach Matt is a lifelong runner, coach, and community advocate who has completed 20 marathons and is on a mission to run a marathon in all 50 states. He is a proud dad of two incredible kids and is married to his wife, Nicole, who together believe strongly in the power of health, consistency, and giving back. Matthew is the owner of Stronger Personal Training and Nutrition, a local personal training and nutrition coaching business, where he helps people of all ages build stronger, healthier bodies for life. He is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island and holds a Master’s degree from Boston University, blending education, experience, and heart in everything he does. For Coach Matt, running marathons is about far more than the miles. It’s a way to stay committed to his own health while using each step as a platform to support the local community. His journey is fueled by the belief that strong bodies and strong communities go hand in hand, especially when it comes to supporting young people. Donations to this effort directly support the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Rhode Island, helping provide safe spaces, mentorship, and opportunity for kids to grow, learn, and thrive. Supporters can donate $13.10 (50¢ per mile), $26.20 ($1 per mile), or choose any amount they feel inspired to give. Every contribution helps turn miles into meaningful impact. Thank you for being part of this journey and helping make a difference one mile, and one child, at a time!
