Matt Sczesny

Reporter

Matt returns to WPTV after first working at NewsChannel 5 in the mid-1990s.

Originally from New York, Matt has previously worked in St. Louis, Pennsylvania and upstate New York after graduating from the New York Institute of Technology on Long Island.

An Emmy award-winning reporter, he's covered many big stories over the years, including the protests and riots in Ferguson and St. Louis.

Recently, he's gone in-depth on the Florida housing market and home insurance crisis, pressing the state's chief financial officer on options for relief and helping struggling homeowners find solutions.

Matt and his wife, Cathy, return to South Florida to not only escape the cold Midwest winters but to also be closer to family here. They have two sons who are now paving their own futures.
