Meet the Team: Me!

Computers & Technology & Photography

Hello, I’m Matt Halvorson.

My interest in technology began at an early age, starting with programming on a Commodore 64. During college, I worked as a freelance computer technician, which is also when I launched my website and began building my professional presence.

After graduating from Arizona State University, I accepted a full-time position as Technology Director at Tri-City College Prep. In addition, I provided contracted network services for the Yavapai County Accommodation School District. Supporting two very different educational environments required strong adaptability, proactive security practices, and a commitment to staying ahead of evolving technical challenges. Each environment presented unique demands that sharpened my expertise in network management and cybersecurity.

As the needs of Yavapai County Accommodation School District grew, I transitioned those responsibilities to another provider and began teaching server and IT courses at Yavapai College in the evenings. Balancing hands-on IT leadership with classroom instruction has allowed me to bring real-world insight and practical experience into my teaching—giving students perspectives they might not otherwise receive.

While technology has always been both engaging and rewarding, I also wanted to pursue a creative outlet. Photography became that outlet. What began as landscape photography quickly expanded into portraits, weddings, models, pets, and a variety of other subjects. Photography allows me to balance the analytical side of technology with creative expression.
