Matt is a highly experienced people and culture consultant with over 20 years of hands-on experience designing and delivering development programs on a personal, team and organizational level.

He has a lifelong passion for understanding and working with human systems – and in helping organizations shape the optimal environment for their people. He has a strong belief that organizational environments where individual learn and grow not just foster performance but they support happier and healthier communities.

Matt is passionate about experiential learning, his family, the ocean and the wilderness. He has just recently returned from a multi-year odyssey combining all of these things by traveling overland across the world with his wife and three young daughters – trying to show them how amazing this world truly is.
