Matt is the CEO of OT Growth Partners, a franchisee of over 60 Orange Theory locations throughout the US. Prior to this he was the CEO of Quality Restaurant Group which he grew from 0 to 350+ quick service restaurant units under brands such as Pizza Hut, Arby’s, Sonic and Moe’s Southwest Grill. We trace Matt’s upbringing in a suburb of New York City, where he learned early on to appreciate hard work as a means to honor and capitalize on the opportunities he had to step “in the arena” and get mud on his face.
