With a rich background spanning over 18 years in education, I've navigated a diverse landscape of roles and projects. From managing over 50 educational initiatives in Germany as an employee and later a freelancer, to becoming a specialist in teaching and learning, Matt's journey has been one of continual growth. In 2016, he ventured into the realm of online education, harnessing his expertise as a German language coach. Teaching over 800 hours within five years, he's honed his skills and insights.

His academic pursuits include an MBA in Social Management and an additional diploma in higher education, bolstering his professional foundation. A transformative chapter began in 2017 when Matt's family embarked on a journey of travel and homeschooling. Enrolling his children in a US-based high school program, he introduced homeschooling to other families and served as a remote academic advisor for the same institution. Training extensively in coaching modalities such as NLP, CBT, counseling, and life coaching since 2018, he's passionately embraced his role as a coach and Achologist.

Guided by a resolute mission, Matt aspires to empower individuals seeking remote work, tailored education for their children, and a life defined by authenticity. Matt's recent venture, LifeWorx LLC, stands as a testament to this commitment, offering unwavering support to those striving for purpose-driven careers.
