Graduate of the University of Maine's 2009 class, with a B.A. in Journalism and English Minor.

He specializes in Radio broadcasting, working at WMEB 91.9, U-Maine's student run radio station, since February 2006. In September of 2007, Matt took the Sports Director position at WMEB, where he took on the responsibility of directing, anchoring, and producing broadcasts of U-Maine Football, Men's Hockey & Basketball, and Baseball.

In addition, he did play-by-play announcing for Football and Baseball from 2007-2009, highlighted by the Maine-Northern Iowa playoff football game at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa on November 29, 2008. Maine lost that game 40-15, but it was the pinnacle of Matt's broadcasting career at U-Maine nonetheless.

Matt also was responsible for producing the Sports Department at The Maine Channel, U-Maine's student television station, from September 2007. He produced Black Bear Nation, TMC's weekly Sports Talk show aimed at informing the U-Maine student body on Maine Athletics. Weekly discussions and player/coach features were common on the program.
