His debut book, “The Partner’s Purpose During Pregnancy,” emerged from a 41-week journey across 15 countries. It was driven by his desire to support his wife, Shanon, during her pregnancy.

Matthew’s mission is to empower others in fostering resilient relationships, enriching emotional and psychological well-being amidst life’s trickiest transitions.
