Markham · Ontario · Est. 1996
Three decades of craft, service, and operational discipline — from fine-dining kitchens to coffee bars to engineering project sites.
I · The Arc
Matt began behind the bar in Markham in 1996, helped author and launch a beverage brand that would scaffold into multiple locations, then spent eight years leading fine-dining kitchens across Toronto.
He returned to specialty coffee from 2007 to 2011 as a partner in a high-volume operator, then pivoted into civil engineering project administration — a decade and change of contracts, quality assurance, and project delivery.
He now brings the full weight of that arc — the craft, the leadership, the operational rigour — back to the work he started with: coffee, and the people who drink it.
