Matt Wharton is the president and founder of one of the nation’s leading technology consulting practices. He’s retained by some of the world’s largest corporations to envision and deploy strategic master plans to fundamentally change how they address their cyber security, physical security and technology needs.
Matt has the unique gift of being able to document visionary strategy along with tactical solutions in a way that is concise, actionable, and compelling. This gift has seen him branded as a “technology thought leader” and he’s been engaged at a senior level by several leading global companies including Microsoft, American Express, Twitter, Salesforce, JP Morgan Chase, Vodafone and McKesson.
After struggling with alcohol abuse since he was a teenager, Matt made a commitment in 1998 to hand over his alcohol problem to God, praying for God to take the affliction from him completely: not to negotiate with it, not to control it, but to remove it. A week later he was sober and has been sober for over seventeen years due to the application of his faith and the twelve-step program.
During those same years, Matt sought a way to apply those daily principles to his obesity—without success. By October 2013, Matt had had enough. He knew that having gastric bypass surgery (like so many other high-profile people) was going to be the only possible solution. Before heading to the doctor’s office, he prayed earnestly that a solution would present itself. It became clear to him that, if he embarked on the right path and committed absolutely to apply a consistent level of intensity and discipline to achieving his goals each and every day, he could finally achieve the results he’d been looking for.
The easy-to-follow regimen revealed in Choose FITness Not FATness Today! is unique in both its simplicity and its combination of two proven and time-tested principles: the one-day-at-a-time commitment to “quitting” a very short list of foods and the application of strategic planning best practices to set goals and track results. Matt has a long-term and proven track record in both these principles.
Matt and his wife Cathy live in the Dallas area in close proximity to their children and grandchildren.
