Meet The Team

Bio: 
Hi, my name is Matt and I grew up and went to University in Windsor, Ontario. After graduation I went on tour with a band and ended up in Calgary, which is how I discovered the Columbia Valley. I came here to work in the kitchen at Fairmont Hot Springs in 2012 and bought my home in Invermere in 2017. I love the outdoor lifestyle and the beautiful ecosystem we live in. 


What do I like about working at the youth centre?
I love the welcoming environment of the youth centre! I enjoy being able to interact with the youth through activities, playing sports and games, and promoting a safe and fun social atmosphere for everyone. It is a place where I can share some of my own hobbies and through this, encourage learning and fun for the youth.
