Matthew started shooting at RGS Guildford when he was 13. This is his 11th Great Britain tour and his 3rd to New Zealand. Wind coaching is Matt’s main strength and was his role on previous GB, Scotland and club tours to Canada, Australia, South Africa, USA, New Zealand and the West Indies. Matt has 49 “Big Five” appearances under his belt and has coached GB wins in all the major international matches. Matt is a teacher of modern languages and mathematics, having ‘retired’ from institutional stockbroking in the City a few years ago to do something he loves. He sculls, having rowed competitively, and enjoys cycling, skiing and snowboarding when there’s occasionally time around loving daughter Ursula and being looked after by wife Ellie.
