Cooperative Developer
Mathew has an extensive background in grassroots organizing and developed much of those skills focusing on environmentally driven campaigning with Greenpeace and agricultural development with the Peace Corps in Madagascar. Most recently, he received his graduate degree in Food Studies at Chatham University where he helped contribute to the scholarship surrounding the governance structure of agricultural multi-stakeholder cooperatives by doing a multi-case study analysis of two food hubs in the United States. Mathew continues that momentum with KDC because he is confident the cooperative model supports equitable outcomes for users compared to other business models. In his down time he enjoys cooking, trying new recipes, and spending time in his garden.
