Matt is entering his second season at Marist, and first as the Men's Head Coach.  After a very successful first season with the freshman team he was named the head varsity coach.  Before arriving at Marist in the  fall of 2011, Matt coached at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, DC during the 2011-2012 season where his crews had considerable success.

Matt started rowing in 2002 for Ridgewood High School and then went on to row at Georgetown University. He graduated from Georgetown University in 2011 where he studied International Politics.
