Professional Guiding Experience: 16 years

Matt originally hails from Pennsylvania and moved to Arizona when he was 20. His first backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon proved to be a life changing experience. Over the next several years, he spent as much free time as possible exploring every trail and route the canyon had to offer, many trips as solo adventures. Matt eventually gave his day job as a custom cabinet builder to pursue what he felt was his true calling. Now a veteran guide in the Southwest, Matt spends about 200 days a year hiking, backpacking, and guiding in the canyons of Arizona and southern Utah. His passion for Grand Canyon is palpable and infectious.


In his spare time, Matt enjoys kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking and of course…backpacking. In February 2016, he finished the final section of a complete Grand Canyon through-hike, an endeavor that perhaps fewer than 50 people have ever accomplished. A truly remarkable feat!
