Meet the Team

Matt - Practice Administrator

I have been with Dr. Raber since 2009, and have loved every minute! I am a true Prescottonian, born and raised here in Prescott. I went to Miller Valley and Taylor Hicks grade schools, graduated from PHS, and then attended BYU and graduated with a BFA in Interior Design. After graduating, I worked in San Francisco for three months but felt drawn back to this wonderful community.

After returning home, I joined my brother Steve as an owner of Marler’s Furniture, a family business that started back in 1947 by my grandpa Marler. We sold the furniture store in 2008 and that’s what led me to Dr. Raber. My wife Karen and I have raised five kids, all married with eight grandkids and counting!

I was born in California and have lived in Arizona since I was 5. I have been in the dental field since 2012, I have my Coronal Polishing and Radiation health and safety certificates. I hope to continue my education and become a board-certified expanded function dental assistant. Dr. Bobby Raber and Dr Brian Mortenson are fantastic dentists to work with. I love interacting with our patients and strive to provide a positive experience for our patients. I love spending time with my family and friends which include my husband Derek, my son Jax and my dog.

In my "spare time," I enjoy cooking and spending time outdoors with my kids and my fur babies. My husband and I also own an off-road tour business called Angry Ape Off-Road. We take customers out on some of the most  breathtaking trails that surround the Prescott area. Our future plans see us retiring in Prescott, lounging in a hammock under the pines, and enjoying the grandkids and fur babies, of course..
