Matthew, who also goes by Matt, Skrobee, and a whole lot of other things, is a friend of the podcast and an overall interesting man. He describes himself as a “jack of all trades, master of none.” Although he attributes the risks he takes to his attention deficit (ADHD), we think his many hobbies make Matthew and his stories extraordinary.
In this journey you’ll hear about Matt’s childhood, his career path, family, and child raising advice. You’ll hear about some unique experiences including falconry and a recent 340 mile kayak race Matt and a friend finished - all without Matthew ever having kayaked in his life!
