After teaching Geoscience, Marine Science, and Environmental Horticulture, Matt became concerned about modern agriculture's impact on ocean health. This led him to reconnect with his old Peace Corps friend, Nathan.

In 1999, Matt and Bobbie Brown met Nathan McFall in Togo, West Africa, where they collaborated with local communities on environmental education, soil conservation, and animal husbandry. You can learn more about Nathan's work here.

In summer 2010, the Brown family moved to Milwaukie, Oregon. There, they partnered with Nathan to establish the non-profit Food|Waves. Matt was interviewed by EarthSayers.tv in July 2011.
