A Childhood in the Great Outdoors
Matt Moniz grew up in Boulder, Colorado, with his twin sister Kaylee and their parents. They lived comfortably, with the great outdoors as a huge part of their lives. Matt later recalled of his childhood: “When my sister and I were growing up, we would always be hiking around outdoors, and we thought it was kind of normal.”

“We grew up skiing and hiking a lot,” he continued. That’s quite an understatement – the Moniz family would regularly explore nature (of which there’s a lot in Colorado!) for days at a time, camping in the wilderness, mountain biking, and trekking for miles. Matt was also a competitive freestyle skier as a child and enjoyed a good deal of success.
