Matt spent several years traveling the world and competing as an elite amateur triathlete. During his sojourn he realized there was more to life and humanity than what people saw on the outside, and became determined to change society's outward-judging preconceptions.
This became Matt's mission when he met blind, would-be triathlete Heidi Musser, who, through her pluck and courage, further opened Matt's eyes to the difference between positive thinking and living proactively.
Inspired by the bond they developed as guide and athlete, and the reactions he witnessed from those on the periphery, Matt set out to prove that he could shift society's deep-rooted prejudice of the visually impaired, one athlete at a time.
Driven to bring Heidi's inspiring story to the screen and that of other blind triathletes, to help these brave champions achieve their farthest-reaching goals and dreams, “C-Different” and “Victory Over Darkness” were born.
