My name is Matt Duff, I was born and raised in Hillsdale County. I am married to Jennifer Duff, a teacher at Hillsdale High School. I have 3 children, Tyson, Aniston and Lenox and they attend Hillsdale Community Schools. I enjoy hunting and sports. I am the varsity baseball coach for Hillsdale High School.
After high school I received a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Ferris State University. Soon after graduating I was hired at the Hillsdale County Sheriff's Department and worked there for 13 years. During my time there I worked as a patrol officer, a K-9 handler, defensive tactics instructor and was a member of the Hillsdale County Mutual Emergency Response Team. I left the Sheriff's Department and took a job with the Hillsdale City Police and worked full time there for 5 years and I am currently still employed there.
I left law enforcement in 2017 to become the Program Manager of Criminal Justice with the Hillsdale County ISD.
