CHAIR – TABOR ACADEMY
MATT GILES I studied at the old Tabor High School some years ago, and my 3 children now attend Tabor Academy. I run my own construction business locally, (although we operate nationwide) and have done so now for a number of years. I am a senior instructor at a local martial arts club, and I coach a local grass-roots football team. I believe I am able to make a valuable contribution to the Academy Committee.
