After 10 years in the music industry and the birth of his son, Matthew's interest in green technology led him to launch Inspiration Transportation. His goal is to aid in diminishing the barriers towards self-sufficiency and upward mobility by providing access to transportation services for employment, education, healthcare, and personal services. Matthew is an active member of the community who was involved in Transform Fresno (TCC - The Fresno Transformative Climate Communities Collaborative) as well as the Fresno DRIVE Initiative (Developing the Region's Inclusive and Vibrant Economy). Matthew successfully shifted his business experience into the nonprofit sector, gaining insight and building professional relationships with the goal of bringing much-needed service to Fresno's most under-served families and individuals. He is focused on improving the lack of access to social service transportation and addressing how these access gaps adversely impact low-income communities of color.
