#MeetTheTeam at Direct Access Group! Today, we're introducing Matthieu Kolensky! You might know Mat as one of the auditors for our State of Vermont housing project, but did you know he's also a passionate sports fan? When he's not auditing offices, Mat can be found coaching the Central Vermont Pioneers Sled Hockey Team, helping athletes with disabilities compete across the Northeast. Sled hockey is an amazing adaptation of ice hockey, where players use sleds and specialized sticks to navigate the ice.
