Matt grew up here in the Upstate, and previously taught in the Five Oaks Academy Middle School from 2011-2018. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Recreation and Sports Management from Southern Wesleyan University, and his Montessori Adolescent Education training through the International Montessori Training Institute in Huntsburg, Ohio. After stepping away from teaching to run his own business, he is excited to return to Five Oaks Academy to continue guiding students through the challenges of adolescence.
“As both a teacher and a parent of three children who attend Five Oaks Academy, I have the unique joy of experiencing the Academy’s mission from multiple perspectives. I value the way Montessori education nurtures independence, curiosity, and community, and I feel honored to support students during such an important stage of their development.”
