Matt turned pro for Birdhouse and won the Back To The City contest in San Francisco in 1993. He then switched to the Firm for the duration of that company's existence. Matt is currently riding for Skate Mental.
To confirm the year that he won the Back To The City, I did some online searching and wound up on the New York Times' website. They had a page of text listing every single winner in every sport for 1993. This is what they had for skateboarding:
Skateboarding U.S. (Back to the City) -- Matt Beach, Portland, Oregon
World Ramps -- Tony Hawk, Fallbrook, California
World Street -- Ed Templeton, Huntington Beach, California
Transworld - November 1994 Volume 12 Number 11
