Hi, I'm Matt! I am passionate about teaching our youth, helping improve my communities, and leading teams.As a business owner, I've had the opportunity to learn, and continue to learn, how to effectively manage a team, build support for our life-saving mission, and extend the organization's reach and presence in our local community. I'm deeply passionate about educating our youth and learning about ways in which in which I and my team can become better educators. I see myself as a strong communicator who is able to convey and build support for new ideas in teams ranging from business to engineering. I have also had the unique privilege of working in two national laboratories, which has given me diverse experiences working with model-based systems engineering, requirements analysis and engineering, and configuration management.I'm a curious person, I love to learn and travel the world, and am excited to continue growing while applying my skills and passions in ways that create a better future for my communities big and small.
