Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Matt has always found adventure calling his name. From his early days camping and exploring the wilderness with the boy scouts to days as an adult spent immersed in various forests along the East Coast. As a classically trained actor, Matt seeks to find the bridge between creativity and nature, knowing that he is at his best when he is rooted in the natural world. He has worked closely with team-builders, hikers and young people looking to find confidence, adventure and excitement. After a few years spent as a local TV host, he has recommitted himself to his goal of pursuing a useful life of exploration and enlightenment. His current goal is to become a member of those that have hiked all 46 high peaks in the Adirondacks, known as “46ers.”
