Mat is a nonprofit and community leader with more than a decade of experience building stronger organizations and communities. Throughout his career across nonprofit, public, and post-secondary sectors, Mat has focused on creating opportunities through workforce development, community engagement, education, and effective governance.
Whether leading organizations, developing or stewarding initiatives that create opportunity and strengthen communities, or building lasting partnerships, Mat has been driven by a commitment to social impact and expanding opportunities for others. Throughout his career, he has focused on advancing social mobility by helping people build meaningful careers, access education, and connect with the supports they need to thrive. Most recently, he led the Career Services team at George Brown Polytechnic, where he helped students and alumni navigate their careers while building strong relationships with employers and community partners. Previously, he held leadership roles with organizations including the Bartenders Benevolent Fund, WoodGreen Community Services, the YMCA of Southwestern New Brunswick, Rise, Career Foundation, and Dixon Hall.

He currently serves as Deputy Warden at St. Matthew's Anglican Church in Riverdale, supporting parish governance, stewardship, and community outreach as he continues to give back to the community he and his wife call home.
Outside of his professional and community work, Mat is an avid runner who has completed 11 marathons, including the Toronto, New York City, and Los Angeles Marathons. When he's not training for his next race, he's always happy to connect over a great cup of coffee and discuss recommendations for a good book.
