I got to know Matt as our daughters were entering Kindergarten around 2010-11. That was also the time when he was transitioning from a finance career to teaching. I think that life change really says it all about Matt. He has the intellect and experience of a UofC-trained finance professional with a true commitment to making a difference for kids that compelled him to get into the classroom. He has seen firsthand what reaches kids and what doesn't; how to engage parents and how to lose them; how administrators and technology can be helpful or harmful. Honestly, there is no one else in this race with the combination of experiences Matt has. This combination of experiences plus his engagement as a parent of three in EPS really does make him the obvious choice on Nov 7!
