Matt Graifer
- Actor
With over 10 years' experience in public speaking and entertainment, Yo Pro has hosted over 1,000 events in the United States. Based out of Florida and willing to travel, his varied skill set is an asset to any production.
The Young Professor (aka Matt Graifer) was ACTUALLY that: a young professor! At the age of 25, he was brought on as a professor at the baccalaureate level of a SACS accredited exercise science program where he taught 25 separate collegiate level courses over 7+ years. Following his exit from the private university setting, he now serves our nation's youth as a social studies teacher at the high school level... and that's just how the daytime hours are spent.
At night, he has served Central Florida, Georgia, and beyond as an award-winning entertainer at live events of all types. His most tenured role was as a live trivia game show host where he hosted over 600 events over 6 years and was named by the Daytona Beach News Journal as Best Live Entertainer in 2018. He is also a DJ for all event types (weddings, birthday parties, Bar Mitzvahs, Sweet 16's, etc.) and a prominent MC for charities, sporting events, and even art competitions.
What he is best known for is his involvement in sports. Starting out as a professional wrestling ring announcer, he has since gone on to be a ring announcer for all forms of combat sports and also a broadcast commentator. He also has worked in professional football, baseball, and collegiate basketball. In the past, he has performed with the Jacksonville Sharks (NAL Football) and viral sensation baseball team: The Savannah Bananas.
As of January 2022, he is the in-game host of the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Men's and Women's Basketball teams, and the Daytona Tortugas, Minor League Baseball affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.
