Matt is a dedicated public safety professional with 28 years of service ranging from first responder, supervision, and management to support services and now with software systems and IT. He began his career as a lifeguard and became certified as an EMT as soon as he was old enough to sit for the test. Soon after he became a licensed paramedic and became involved with managing data systems within the public safety setting. As the IT needs of public safety grew and new tools became available, Matt focused his energies on developing ways to adapt and develop new technology to the needs of public safety organizations. When he is not meeting with customers or behind a computer, Matt enjoys volunteering, building and mentoring at The MakerBarn where he serves on the Executive Committee of the 501(c)3 non-profit.
