Matt has taught as a first-year seminar instructor at Southern Oregon University for nearly ten years. He also serves as a pre-law advisor, leads free speech workshops, and teaches an upper division free speech course. Matt was a family law attorney, community college advisor, and legislative assistant in the Oregon House of Representatives and California Senate. He is now studying the legal roots of equity to argue how its contemporary usage is antithetical to the term's actual meaning.
