After working as a copywriter at Young & Rubicam, Matt started his own agency where he began creating & directing commercials for Fox Sports, Comedy Central, and the NFL. In 2004 Matt joined Epoch Films where he went on to direct commercials full-time for clients like Volkswagen, Old Spice, Target, and AT&T.

In 2011 Matt founded and launched the L.A. & London-based boutique production company Arts & Sciences, which was named a Creativity A-List Production Company multiple years in a row.

Matt co-wrote and directed his first feature film, “GIGANTIC”, in 2008.

In 2018, Matt co-wrote and directed a 2nd feature film, “Lying & Stealing”.

Matt has continued to direct award-winning commercial work for clients like Google, Ford, PlayStation, Netflix, Audi, Delta Airlines, and AT&T to name a few.
