Matt attended Bryan College where he obtained a B.A. in English Literature in 2014. After his undergraduate education, Mr. Stombaugh attended law school at the University Of Memphis Cecil C.

Shortly after graduation, Mr. Stombaugh joined the Reaves Law Firm, PLLC as a litigation associate: “What attracted me to the Reaves Law Firm, PLLC was its passion for client-focused representation and its commitment to the local community. There is no other firm doing what we are where we are – I’m proud of that and I’m thankful for the opportunity to #beyourvoice.”

Matt is licensed in both Arkansas and the great state of Tennessee.

I grew up on a farm raising chickens, sheep and cattle. As a high schooler I was active in 4-H where I showed sheep, competed in public speaking, and became a certified master gardener. In college, I began my love affair with coffee — which continues to this day. I am a massive Memphis Tiger’s fan and enjoy attending both the football and basketball games with my wife and son. I am a pretty avid baseball fan and cheer for the Braves, Cardinals, and Phillies.

During my bachelor party, I was dropped off at the Shiloh National Battlefield where I spent 8 hours completing all the necessary tasks to become a “junior park ranger” — a title which is generally reserved for schoolchildren and which I proudly claim to this day.
