Team Spotlight: Dr. Blake Matthews

Dr. Blake Matthews met his gorgeous wife, Sydney on a blind date at BYU.  They dated for two years and married in 1989 just in time for Blake to finish his undergrad and begin dental school in 1990.  Blake applied to a prestigious program at the University of Utah where he proved himself to be one of the top 10 dental students in the state.   This earned him a scholarship to Creighton University where Blake graduate with his dental degree.

In 1994 Blake, Sydney and their new addition, Brock headed back to Utah to join forces with Blake's dentist father, Gary Matthews.  (Gary has now been in practice for over 40 years and together as father and son, Gary and Blake are one of the longest running family dental practices in Utah County. )

The Matthews family was soon joined by two girls McKell and Bailey and another boy, Quade, completed their family in 2001.

If you quiz Dr. Blake Matthews' kids, they would tell you that Blake is the world's greatest dad.  He's a highly involved father and family man who loves to share with his family his love of sports and the outdoors. He loves hiking, skiing, boating, horseback riding, and camping.

In addition to being an amazing dentist, Blake is a fantastic baseball coach. He has coached both of his boys' teams, most recently helping Quade's competition super league baseball team to become the best 11-year-old team in the state last year.
