After attending UC Davis and Santa Clara Law School, Matthew opened his own law firm (http://www.rafatlaw.com/) in downtown San Jose, which currently emphasizes labor and employment law for plaintiffs and small businesses. Despite his chosen profession, Matthew’s first love has always been economics. Matthew currently manages his own portfolio and has been a stock investor for over a decade. In his spare time, Matthew attends shareholder meetings and writes about his experiences. Visit Matthew's blog, Quiet Highway: Saga of a Gentleman (http://www.gotshares.com/)
