Matt Christensen grew up as the oldest child in a loving family. He had already lost his sense of direction when, in his early twenties, he also lost his mom. Poor choices and decisions followed. Then his family introduced him to The Other Side Academy. First as a student, now as a staff member, Matt talks about The Other Side Academy and its programs. The Other Side Academy and its programs can be reached at https://www.theothersideacademy.com/.
