Matthew Bocchi

Matthew Bocchi is a survivor of devastating loss, emotional and psychological trauma, and drug addiction. He began speaking in front of high school audiences throughout the tri-state area, delivering a message of hope and perseverance. The awestruck reception led him to write his debut memoir, SWAY, the first story told by a child of 9/11. He is in long-term recovery, with plans to continue writing and speaking about inspiration and resilience.
