In March 2012, Matt Conti and wife Marnie moved their family of five to the Corbett community. They wanted to enjoy great schools, have room to roam, and be living in an area that afforded them the opportunity to have an active lifestyle. Matt spent his childhood years living on the east coast. At age three he began "ice skating" on double runner blades in the living room! (The blades were dull). The youngest of seven children, all three of Matt's older brothers also played hockey, so he grew into it naturally. Today Matt coaches both a "house" and travel team for his son Kai and is also on the board. In addition to this, Matt currently is also on a men's team himself! Matt's sisters are very artistic and musical, and daughters Piper and Eden are as well. Currently, all three children are enrolled in the Springdale "CAPS" School and are thriving. Matt and Marnie find the teaching philosophy very appealing as their 11, 9 and 7 year old children each love to be creative and explore "different" styles of learning. Currently they are taking violin and piano lessons as well. One of Matt's adjustments to living in Corbett is the new mindset of "always having a project!!" Putting on a tie for his finance job in downtown Portland, he looks forward to taking it off once he heads home to Corbett. Purchasing an older home with Gorge views, they recently had the windows replaced. The views are one of the highlights of the new home for Matt. That and the new "shooting station" for hockey that he has set up in their outbuilding! Both Matt and Marnie are starting to meet several community members and are thankful for this new chapter of their lives.
