Matt developed an obsession for fly fishing at a young age, leading to a successful career in the fly fishing industry as a teacher, certified casting instructor and guide in the Snowy Mountains Australia.
Following the loss of a brother-in-law to suicide, Matt became committed to supporting Australian men impacted by mental health challenges through fly fishing and the beautiful places it takes us. He founded and is now the CEO of the Australian based not-for-profit charity ‘The Fly Program.’
His strong philanthropic mind-set in the industry is having an immeasurable impact on the Australian community, and it’s all delivered with a fly rod, all set in wilderness landscapes.
Matt is a family man, outdoorsman and devoted to sharing the social and health benefits fly fishing provides our communities.
