What Matt enjoys most about being on the JSD landscape architect team is his ability to provide ideas on new spaces that solve challenges and grant the wishes of the client! Even though his very first paying job back in his younger years was being a soccer referee, he admits that if he could have any job in the world he would be thrilled to be a professional triathlete!

Outside of the office, Matt enjoys running, skiing, biking and being on the water. He has a twin sister and older brother, both which he laughingly shares are redheads! He also admits that living in Wisconsin his whole life, he has never been to a Packer or Bucks game!
