I worked with Matt over 7 years specific to College of San Mateo's participation at the SMC Fair. Matt is excellent to work with, always supportive, creative and extremely dependable. He brought many new ideas to the SMC Fair over the years and we will most definitely miss having the opportunity to work with him going forward. I wish him all the best, Beverley Madden
