His passion for helping others sees him still teaching Les Mills Group Fitness classes on a weekly basis. Born and bred in the mighty West Auckland and a graduate of Kelston Boys High School, a passion for sport comes with the territory. 

During his downtime Matt can be found in the gym, coaching and personal training, as well as instructing a variety of group fitness classes. On weekends you will find him glued to the TV watching the NRL and supporting his beloved New Zealand Warriors.

Before joining Skills Active/Te Mahi Ako, Matt managed a number of gym facilities as well as being Business Development Manager for Health & Fitness at CLM. Matt was also an exercise assessor for over two years before coming onboard.
