Co-Founder of #TeamSeas
Matt is an award-winning campaign strategist and digital product manager using technology and storytelling to support people-powered movements. His work has ranged from crowdfunding $55M through two of the largest YouTube creator collaborations ever, to passing historic anti-gerrymandering and ethics laws, to earning global media coverage by projecting a visualization of 100% renewable energy onto the Eiffel Tower during the Paris Climate Talks. In 2009, he led grassroots communications for 350.org as they coordinated 5,300 climate rallies in 181 countries — what CNN called, “the most widespread day of political action in the planet’s history.” He is an Americorps Public Allies alumnus, a Startingbloc Social Innovation Fellow, and a trail-builder and crew leader with Volunteers for Outdoor California. The Guardian once called him ‘wickedly funny and evidence-based” but they didn’t know it was him.
