About Me
BASED OUT OF VANCOUVER ISLAND
Hey, I'm Matt, a Canadian comedy director and YouTube personality. Film has been the main focus of my life since I was a teenager. I started out filming my friends riding mountain bikes, and everything changed when I started creating comedy sketches.
I was lucky enough to find viral success in the early days of YouTube - and I've riding that wave ever since.
ESTABLISHED
2009
I went to film school and started filming weddings on the side, while continuing to grow my YouTube audience. Soon, brands like MEC, CBC, and Trek took notice, and we made dozens of iconic comedy videos and commercials together. Now, with 1+ million subscribers and 400+ million views under my belt, I’ve built a name for myself blending action sports, comedy and high end cinematic visuals.
IFHT Films
IFHT Films is the original YouTube channel I founded with Jason Lucas in 2009. Once known for silly comedy sketches, it has now grown into a renowned video production company, famous for commercials and short films like How to Buy a Mountain Bike.

Mahalo My Dude is where you’ll find me today, documenting my daily life. I started the channel in 2016 as a way to reunite with my first passion, mountain biking. The channel and Instagram account became a hub for mountain bikers who don’t take themselves too seriously, along with an online store that was made popular by its playful stickers and t-shirts.
Here, I’ve learned the ins and outs of building an online community that thrives on quick turnaround content.
