Matt works with our partners to develop education and messaging that align the interests of visitors, local communities, and the environment. With a PhD in ethics from the University of Georgia and over twenty years of experience in education and the outdoor industry, including three years as a Leave No Trace Traveling Trainer, he takes a collaborative approach to fostering healthy ecosystems and vibrant cultures. When he’s not working, you can find Matt riding his mountain bike near his home in western North Carolina.
