Matt Paul was born in the Western suburbs of Chicago and later lived in Dayton, Ohio where he began his running career. After moving to Charlotte a little over 5 years ago Matt tried many different running groups, ultimately finding his home in the Sycamore Run Club. Coming out of COVID in 2020, the club needed a new leader and Matt took over the role, which he still holds today.
Matt never ran as a child or teenager and only took up running 7-8 years ago while living in Ohio as a means to lose weight. Matt is very proud to say that he has lost over 60 pounds with running as his primary form of exercise once he got started.
On a personal level, Matt is an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan and travels frequently. Ask him about Barcelona, upstate New York, or what it's like being one of only 20 people in empty Legoland park in Denmark!
