Matt Yoder started firmly down the path of DIY when he found out he could make his own wooden pens. Thousands of dollars in equipment later, he has now outfitted his house for many aspects of small woodworking, electronics assembly, mosaic art, fine cooking, and his current tangent, soapmaking. He is also currently growing his own crop of Habanero, Jalapeno, and Cayenne peppers to further his homemade hot sauce pursuit. Matt is on the board of directors of his closest hackerspace, the Denver Hackerspace, while also maintaining membership in the next closest space, the Boulder Hackerspace, to further support the movement. One of his commitments to his hackerspace is to teach classes on pretty much any topic he thinks he can learn well enough before the class starts. Recently, Matt's motto has become one stolen from the "Self-Repair Manifesto": "If you can't fix it, you don't own it."
