July 2025 Member of the Month

 Matt found a love for photography when he and his family moved to the Lake Norman area in 2010. After one of his lake photographs won a contest, they found the Mooresville Arts was a unique environment to continue learning and expanding one’s creative talents. Matt’s photography has since been in exhibits at Mooresville Arts and he soon realized he wanted to get involved.

Raised in the Philadelphia suburbs, Matt had a variety of college and work experiences that showed getting involved is a great way to continue learning and growing as a person. Matt and his wife, Chris, relocated from Washington DC to Atlanta where he was an IT consultant for many years. Through the companies he worked for, and with, he was always involved in employee engagement where he could share his enthusiasm for actively engaging in the community. 

Additionally, Matt has a passion for playing soccer, which he shares with his son who is studying at Furman University in Greenville, SC.  Matt and Chris are often seen in their neighborhood walking their two dogs or taking the boat out for sunset cruises (camera in hand)! You may meet Matt in person at an exhibit or taking another class at Mooresville Arts as he learns ways to incorporate his photography in mixed-media pieces.
