Meet Matt Withey, YPB Member

Matt's heart is purple for not only the millions of people who have lost someone special to pancreatic cancer, but for the millions more who lost the opportunity to know someone special. "My grandfather passed away from pancreatic cancer when I was young. People say to this day that he and I were so much alike — nearly the same person in many respects. I would have loved to have gotten to know him better."

Now for some fun facts about Matt...

His favorite sports team is whatever team is playing the Miami Heat.

Matt loves to fly fish. "I’ve been hooked since I was old enough to hold a rod," he said.

His favorite restaurants in Chicago are Joe’s Stone Crab in River North and Del Seoul in Lincoln Park.

As a child, Matt wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up. Unfortunately, he soon came to realize that people who get nauseous on carousels probably don’t make very good astronauts.

In the winter, he likes to head to the mountains to snowboard or head home to Phoenix to play golf, see family and thaw out.

Matt is a Real Estate Investment Associate and resides in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. He went to Northwestern University and is originally from Phoenix, AZ.
