I am a full time working actor & between projects work as an acting teacher because I benefitted so greatly from some simple truths in the process of finding the way that works best for me. We all have a method that gets us to our truth & the trigger is individual to us each. I find that part of the process the least explored. The better we know ourselves, the braver the work gets & the more purposeful it becomes. And then we are working.

Heya! I'm Matt. I've worked with kids since I was 15 and became a junior counselor at a non- competitive experiential learning camp. I'd go on to run their games program and then become an administrator, which I did for many years. During those years I learned a ton about conflict resolution, child development, team building, and how to facilitate fun in a learning environment. I also ran the weeklong orientation where I taught classes on all of the above to a staff of 60 who ranged in age from 15 (like me when I started!) to 60. I started taking piano lessons in 2nd grade and continue
