He served as Program Director for the inaugural 2015/2016 HeatSmart Tompkins program. This ground-breaking initiative resulted in HeatSmart's 3 Installer Partners receiving 300 qualified leads and closing nearly 100 projects totaling over $1.5 million in revenue. Solar Tompkins and the HeatSmart program garnered acclaim from state agencies, including the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, as well as other state and local environmental advocacy groups.

Prior to joining Solar Tompkins, Matt held positions in Boston, MA, with the Harvard School of Public Health and the Conservation Law Foundation, and in Washington, DC, with the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, the Urban Land Institute, and as a consultant to the U.S. General Services Administration’s Office of Planning and Design Quality. He also served as an independent adviser to several real estate management and development companies in the New York City and Washington, DC metro areas.

Matt earned an MA from Cornell University in City & Regional Planning and a BA from Ithaca College. Additionally, he fulfilled graduate coursework at the Harvard University Extension School, completed the Photovoltaic Installer’s Solar Electric course at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and is a trained event facilitator and mediator.
