Mat has had many careers but his passion has always been for fisheries and aquatic life. As a licenced plumber Mat has the know-how to design and build efficient and reliable aquatic based systems, something that he studied during his time at Sir Sandford Fleming College. Attention to detail and precision guide all of Mat’s work. During his free time Mat is an avid cyclist and angler. He and his family live on a small hobby farm that has been in the family for seven generations. There, they enjoy caring for a flock of laying hens and all things gardening.
