Known for elaborate ASCII pictures in [[Listserve|all-campus]] emails.

Close friends and co-leader with Jonathan junior year. A contradancer since childhood at summer dance camp, Matt was one of the most experienced contradancers of the Folk, and a true Renaissance dancer through music, calling, and dance ability.
 
'''Molly Hawkins '08''' learned to dance back home in Florida, learned to call from Jonathan in a [[Free University]] class during her freshman [[Winter Study]]. Came up to Jonathan in the first dance of her freshman year and asked if he could teach her to call.
