First Responder Friday - Matthew Domyancic

Matthew Domyancic, M.S., M.S., M.A. served as a police officer for a large department in the Metro DC area where he worked patrol, peer support, SWAT, and was a full-time police academy instructor. He was also the Wellness Coordinator for his agency, where he integrated sports nutrition, strength and conditioning, combatives, stress management, heart rate monitors and scenario training long before the “tactical athlete” concept became widely popular. Matt also worked as a strength and conditioning coach at Georgetown and Yale Universities. Prior to coaching, Matt played linebacker and was a competitive powerlifter for the Air Force Academy and Colgate University. He is a graduate of the West Point Leadership Course for Law Enforcement and has Masters’ degrees in Pastoral Theology, Sports Psychology, and Forensic Science. He also has additional training as a certified Spiritual Director. Matt believes all First Responders can have careers that provide deeper meaning and add richness to their spiritual lives, which is why he volunteers as a chaplain and peer support for various departments and nonprofits.   The First Responder Friday Podcast is a production of ConjoStudios, LLC as a part of the PTSD911 Documentary project.
