"Thanks, Matthew. The Route Fifty Town Hall was a nice experience. Both you and Rich [Greene] are pros and made it easy, and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Jason’s and Elizabeth’s remarks."

Christi Branscom, Commissioner, General Services, State of Tennessee

"We thought Matthew did an excellent job in coordinating the prep sessions and the recordings [ for the Route Fifty Town Hall], which couldn't have been an easy task. Also, we think that he was very wise in allowing the sessions to vary in style, one from the next, which kept the day lively."

Katherine Barrett and Richard Greene, Senior Advisors, Route Fifty for GovExec

"We worked with Matthew to create an online donor engagement event. He was great every step of the way. He helped create an engaging format with interesting content, branded the event, and provided the journalists with valuable input to ensure they were comfortable with the topic and format. He understands technology, marketing, and audience engagement. He has a deep commitment to excellence and will do everything to ensure that your event is the best it can be. He debriefed the group after each event to learn what we could do better next time. I would definitely work with Matthew again."

Shane Yost, Director of Individual Giving, Center for Public Integrity

"What a week!!!! Future Cities team this was such an incredible event -- from an absolutely STUNNING agenda & incredibly important conversations, to a sleek platform the hyped audience engagement, to getting the word to audiences across our new company SLG network, to expertly managing our clients...."
Kate Anderson, Director of Programming, Government Executive Media Group

"Matthew helped us at Learning First Alliance strategize for a tough project in an exceptionally difficult year: a celebratory event for educators who were instead focused on getting their jobs done and getting back to school. We worked with Matthew on outreach, branding, and social media strategies, and the end result was better than we ever could have imagined. We are planning to work with him again on future projects!"
Joetta Sack-Min, Communications Director, Learning First Alliance

"Matthew provided huge guidance and an experienced helping hand to our team for the virtual BIMS event we held in December. His event skills and comfort in working with attendees and clients stand out. I would recommend for any company in need of a plan, guidance, or support for an event they are holding to consider hiring Matthew. He works well under pressure and is genuinely concerned with the outcomes. I look forward to working with him again."

Ronn Levine, Editorial Director, Software & Information Industry Association

"Matthew has a talent for creating a vision and understanding all of the pieces and parts that go into making that vision become a reality. I have been fortunate enough to speak at an event he created and work with him on a web show that I conceptualized and he made happen. What always amazed me about Matthew is how he was able to easily move from one part of the production to the next without an issue. He always creates a great experience and I really enjoy those times we can work together."

Peter DeWitt, Ed.D., Author/Leadership Coach, www.petermdewitt.com

"Matthew's strength is crafting a vision into a living project and connecting all the dots along the way to make that vision viable and engaging. He is masterful at gathering diverse talent and expertise both internally and externally, attending to details, and working by your side along the entire journey as team effort. He has both the personable traits, leadership, and work ethic to make things happen. He is a rare and reliable talent."
—Laura Baker Debevec, Creative Director, Editorial Projects in Education

"Matthew is a creative, energetic, and organized team player who worked closely with me in framing and executing numerous topical events focused on politics, elections, and public affairs that drew hundreds of media, policy, research, and education professionals. He was adept at navigating the complex and distinct needs of his business- and news-side colleagues and assuring the needs of both were met in producing these deadline-sensitive projects. And he always did so with a hands-on presence, grace under pressure, and sense of humor both welcome and crucial to their success."
--Mark Bomster, Deputy Managing Editor, Education Week

Matthew is one of the most creative, energetic colleagues I've ever worked with in my 22 years in journalism. He taught me how to bring print journalism to life in live and virtual events that have resulted in engaging, enduring relationships with the national K-12 educator audience. He navigates sometimes competing internal interests with aplomb. He's incredibly skilled at bridging differences between editorial teams and business teams. His leadership on marquee brands—Leaders To Learn From, most prominently—opened up new business lines for [our] legacy print publication. He is a thoughtful, collaborative, flexible, and open-minded partner on projects of any scale and ambition."
