Vice Admiral Matthew J. Kohler is coming home Sept. 12
This Erie native's distinguished 36-year naval career placed him at the forefront of American intelligence, cybersecurity, and information warfare.
He attended Strong Vincent High School in Erie and graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), where he was recognized as an All-American swimmer. He is the son of Joseph and Sally Kohler, both longtime Erie educators.

He has four siblings, including his twin Michael, Ellen Croft, Natalie Kohler, of Erie and Rebecca Johnson and her husband, Gary, of Erie. He worked as a Presque Isle lifeguard.

He retired from active duty in 2020 as a three-star admiral and continues to advise public and private sector organizations on national security and strategic affairs.

Throughout his career, Admiral Kohler remained a proud son of Erie, returning to his hometown on several occasions, including as Mercyhurst University's 2018 commencement speaker and honorary degree recipient.
