Matt grew up in Washington and gained his love for the outdoors through years of backpacking in the Cascades and the Olympic mountains. He moved to Minnesota for school, and in 2021 he graduated from St Olaf College with a B.A. in environmental science. With a goal to help others begin their journeys of connection to nature, he embarked on a year as a naturalist leading education programs on the north shore of Lake Superior. His interest in birds was sharpened by an internship spent learning to present with hawks and owls to visiting school groups. As a recent migrant to Vermont, he is excited by the abundance of wild turkeys and peregrine falcons that one can encounter here. Now living in Winooski, he enjoys both the proximity of city conveniences as well as the many readily accessible natural spaces. Matt loves skiing and mountain biking and expects to feel like a Vermont native in no time
