This is Matt’s first year suiting up in blue and red with XC Ottawa. He comes to us from Caledon, Ontario where he started skiing in grade 9 for his high school. If you were ever apart of the Ontario high school racing circuit, you would know Matt as one of those guys in the cow suits racing to the podium week after week.
He started racing more competitively with Mono Nordic and moved up into the rankings on the Ontario Cup circuit before moving to Ottawa to study at Carleton University. He is currently studying to achieve his bachelor of commerce with a major in Entrepreneurship. Although still in school and racing competitively, Matt has managed to start and launch his first company, Boast Technologies.
Besides training, going to school, and running his business you can find Matt running the trails in the park, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen! This year he aims to hope to improve my sprint and distance results and to have top 20 results at selected NORAM events.
