Bio
Rebecca Katharina Dalski
Matt is an incredibly positive and enthusiastic member of the team who not only will take the lead but get people excited about what’s to come. I’ve always been impressed with his ability to even turn the toughest situations around, work hard on a strategic positioning yet keep him and the team interested. He’s very skilled at using language effectively and a natural public speaker. I’m certain we will see a lot from Matt in the years to come.
Robbie Fitzwater
Passionate, driven and creative are three words that come to mind when describing Matt. I was lucky enough to work with Matt on several projects during his time working at CU-ICAR and each time I found myself more and more impressed with his ability to balance strategy and creativity in his execution and his ability to bring the best out of those around him. Matt brings with him a contagious energy for doing great things that inspires those around him and elevates the work done by everyone. At Clemson he quickly established himself as a leader among his peers and will no doubt do the same in any position he finds himself in. It's going to be exciting to follow Matt and see what amazing things he'll do!
