Before arriving at Longwood in 2014, he was chief horticulturalist of the Botanical Gardens in Toledo, Ohio.

Additionally, Matthew has taught at Owens State College where he developed an organic farm and training center for the Urban Agriculture Curriculum. Matthew is a proud Master's graduate of Michigan State University in Horticulture Science with emphasis on Landscape Design and Urban Forestry.
