Matthew has spent more than two decades listening closely to people—students, teachers, leaders—and helping them find their voice, their rhythm, and their way forward. His journey began in public education, where he taught, coached, and led in both traditional and alternative settings, always driven by a belief that human connection and authenticity are the foundation for lasting change.

At the heart of Matthew’s work is a simple idea: people flourish when we design for trust, connection, and clarity. With deep experience in instructional leadership, team development, and systems design, Matthew brings a grounded, relational approach to everything he does. He’s helped schools transform how they support students and staff, guided leadership teams to function more effectively, and co-designed learning experiences with the people he serves. He draws energy from meaningful collaboration and is especially passionate about bridging the gap between big ideas and practical action.

He lives in Spokane, Washington, with his wife and three kids, where he drinks strong coffee, reads widely, and believes good questions are often more powerful than quick answers.
