He also described his mom as very intense, very motivated and very independent. “She doesn’t turn it off much, but when she does, she can relax and enjoy her time,” he explains. “We don’t see it too often and we give her a hard time about it, but it’s nice when she does get in that mode.”
Matt concluded saying “She’s always there when I need her to be and need to talk.” “She’s a great role model for me in her day-to-day life and how she handles herself. I love her a lot and I’ve always had a good relationship with her.”
