As a field supervisor, Matthew supports the home energy auditing program by improving program materials, tracking feedback and results, managing the auditing equipment, and following up with homeowners' concerns. Matthew also trains incoming auditors to work directly with homeowners to help them understand how their home uses energy by presenting findings such as insulation levels, infrared scans, air tightness, and mechanical efficiencies.

Prior to CEE, Matthew worked at a local engineering firm where he sampled and processed contaminated soil, groundwater, and vapors for remediation analysis. Matthew also served an AmeriCorps term with Conservation Corps, where he partnered with Mississippi Park Connection in natural resource management such as prairie restoration and maintaining climate study plots.

Matthew has a degree in geological engineering and geology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
