Since childhood, Matt has been fascinated with the sea, and what lay beneath the surface. This passion has driven every facet of his life; personally and professionally. After spending some time at sea as a marine engineer, has spent over a decade building and testing submarines. Building wooden spearguns quickly turned from a hobby into what is now known as Ocean State Spearguns. As a local speargun builder Matt has taken an active role in the New England spearfishing community. In this, saw a need for more education and training for freedivers, especially within the spearfishing community. After training with Newport RI?s own Dylan Currier, Matt is excited to help educate the next generation of freedivers and spearos about safe and efficient diving practices.
