Matt began teaching personal safety skills in 2013 and in 2014 completed an Ontario Police College credential in “Open Source Intelligence” (OSINT), shortly after launching his first online safety programs. His background working in politics and the provincial and federal civil service and OSINT experience give him a unique and fulsome perspective which has resulted in programs that cover the full spectrum of online safety and digital well-being”. In 2019 Matt founded the “Digital Empowerment Project” (Canada) in partnership with Scott Frank, a retired Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigator with the State of Ohio ICAC Task Force.

Highly Recommend!

“As a law enforcement officer I am well aware of both the prevalence of online threats and the glaring gap in education that is current and impactful. Matt’s seminars reflect both current best practices in terms of safety and prevention of abduction and exploitation as well as the latest technologies and tactics deployed by online predators. We are thrilled to have him as the online safety facilitator at the Belleville Children’s Safety Village and highly recommend him!”.
