Matt started skating when he was five in small-town Kamloops, BC, where his dad built him a skatepark on their back patio. A skateboard prodigy, he landed his first sponsorship at just ten years old and won his first major contest, the 2009 Damn Am Canada, when he was just 16. In 2014, Matt skated the SLS Pro Open and made history as the first amateur to qualify for the full SLS Tour. In his first year as a pro, he made it to the SLS Finals at every contest and was the first rookie to ever qualify for the World Championship. 

As the top Canadian in the World Rankings, Matt became one of the first skateboarders to compete for Canada in the Olympic debut of the sport at Tokyo 2020, where he finished 20th in the men’s street event. Fuelled by his dream to show what he could do on the Olympic stage, Matt qualified for his second-straight Olympic Games in Paris, where he placed 11th overall. Matt went viral during the Paris Games when the skateboarders' bus got stuck in a narrow street on the way to practice, and in true, good-spirited Canadian fashion, he led the team to simply skate to the venue.
