about me

I am a highly collaborative and positive member to any team or project I am a part of.

My Mission

  • Lessen the suffering of others.
  • Learn something today I did not know yesterday.
  • Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.

My Values

  • Be ashamed to die until you have scored some victory for humanity.
  • if you’re alive you’ve got to flap your arms and legs, you’ve got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you’re not alive.

“Matt has consistently shown that he is committed to improving services to the public and the team.”

-Director, Rural Resources Victim Services
