Matt is writing this bio in the third person because he’s not famous enough to have someone else do it for him (but he'd like to pretend). He spent his first four years at Famly looking after the Famly blog, but now spends his time on the story of what makes Famly different, helping them get to their mission to make early childhood truly valued. More recently, he's been looking after the project to entirely reinvent how people can use Famly to note, understand, and share child development, without interfering in it.
