Matt  started skiing as soon as he could walk and perfected his early skills on the Skimobile at Cranmore mountain.  He started his pursuit of ski racing at age 8 and by 14 was ranked first in the country at giant slalom and second in slalom in his age group. Matt later went on to compete both domestically and internationally and competed with the US Ski Team’s National Training Group for three years. In college, at the University of New Hampshire, Matt earned both All-East and All-American honors at the NCAA championships as both a freshman and sophomore.

After his competitive career, Matt coached ski racing for 14 years at a “winter feeder” program for the US Ski Team.  Through those years he was able to help place five athletes on the US Ski Team and coached/organized numerous summer and fall training camps in Austria, Germany, and Italy.  He has held several official designations over the years and has been active in the New Hampshire coach’s council.

Matt’s goal in coaching young athletes is to help each athlete reach his or her potential through preparation, attention to fundamental skills, working hard, and having fun.

Matt teaches chemistry and lives on campus with his wife Maria and their children Gunner, 12, and Anya, 9. Maria is a math teacher and the community life parent in Avery House.
