Early life
Matt Rattay began wrestling in middle school and continued through his senior year of high school for the Lawrence_North_High_School Wildcats in Indianapolis, Indiana. During his time at Lawrence North, he was a two time Indiana_High_School_Athletic_Association State placer (7th, 3rd) and wrestled on a 2nd place team in the Team State Series for IHSAA. After finishing his high school athletics, he went on to college and traditional style bodybuilding in the gym. After many years of hitting body part movements, he discovered CrossFit in winter of 2013. He stumbled across CrossFit while he was watching ESPN and saw the 2013 Cinco 1 and Cinco 2 workout of the 2013 CrossFit Games. He watched in awe as large, strong men were deadlifting 405lbs for reps, then hitting weighted pistols, and to cap it off finishing with a handstand walk. From that point on, he knew that CrossFit was something he was going to pursue and that he eventually wanted to get to the CrossFit Games.

Professional career
At the 2015 CrossFit Central Regional Competition, his first Regional appearance, Rattay broke the world record for Handstand Walk. In event 4, Rattay posted a time of 1:11.9, a full 12.3 seconds faster than the previous record-holder Filip Yang Fisker. Rattay would go on to take 15th place overall in the Central Regional Competition.

Rattay made a return to the Regionals in 2016 with a team from his home box, Three Kings Crossfit. Rattay and Three Kings finished 5th in the Regional event, earning them a spot at the CrossFit_Games. Rattay and Three Kings would go on to place 21st in the 2016 CrossFit Games.
