Who Is Will Matthews

I’m a former Rose Bowl champion and Detroit Lion turned commercial banker, now working to make an impact in the community. My journey from professional athlete to the business world has been guided by a deep commitment to helping others and fostering meaningful relationships across Central Texas, Austin, and beyond. I work closely with businesses to help them strengthen their financial strategies and grow sustainably.

Family is everything to me. As a father to three amazing boys—ages 16, 8, and 11 months—I’m always juggling family life with my professional responsibilities, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. My wife and I are raising our boys with the same values I bring to my work: dedication, integrity, and a drive to make a positive impact.

Beyond banking, I serve on nonprofit boards like the Seton Ascension Fund, Master of Science in Finance Advisory Counsel at McCombs School of Business, and I’m proud to be on the Corporate Advisory Board at the University of Texas. My work on these boards allows me to stay connected to the community and give back in ways that matter—whether it's improving healthcare or supporting education.

I’m also passionate about mentoring college/pro athletes as they transition into new careers, sharing my own experience to help them find success beyond sports. And when I’m not working or spending time with my family, I’m training for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon, which takes place on November 3. My goal is to raise $10,000 to support Marathon Kids, an incredible organization that helps children lead active, healthy lives. I’d love for you to be part of this journey—whether through giving, sharing, or simply praying for me, because, let’s be honest, I’ve lost my mind to run 26.2 miles!

And yes, I’m a terrible golfer—though I give it my all on the course, just like I do in life.
