Born and raised in Wollongong on the NSW South Coast, Matthew (he/they) swapped the world of elite sports for the pursuit of a career in musical theatre after graduating high school. 

Since moving to Melbourne, Matthew has been a part of the final VCA foundation Musical Theatre course and also graduated from Andrew Hallsworth's Musical Theatre course at PSA - where he performed the role of Sky Masterson in their production of 'Guys & Dolls'.

Matt's professional credits inlcude: Tom Watson in 'Parade' (Soundworks), Alan in 'I Can Jump Puddles' (Antipodes), Emmet in Wise Guys (Henry Jaksetic), and they also performed the National Anthem at the Parraroos vs Ecuador Game (Channel 10).

Matthew is a strong advocate for disabled visibility, themselves having Cerebral Palsy - outside of performing, they have travelled the world with the Australian Paralympic Soccer Team, 'The Pararoos' and features in their self titled documentary as well as taking part in fundraising events and campaigns for the team and the broader disabled community.

They hope to one day see more instances of physical disability being visible and represented on stage & screen.
