Congratulations to the Dudley's for the birth of their daughter, Gwendolyn Rose Dudley.
The Skillery was born as an online resource to find local in-person classes. It became a co-working space because there was a lack of space for classes.
Space + Education are key.
Matt was a teacher for nearly a decade. He taught everything from 4th grade computers to high school theater.
Matt believes there is power in being in a room with other human beings (I do too).
He didn’t like the structure of a traditional school environment. The institution of school felt off to him.
