Matthew A. Hausman

Hello. My name is Matthew A. Hausman.  I’ve had an extremely blessed life.  I grew up on the family farm in central Illinois; have worked as an aerospace engineer, a teacher, and a nonprofit executive,; and was fortunate enough to see the world!

I spent a year and a half travelling around the world, trying to work on different volunteer and service projects.  I used this website to document my experiences on that trip.

After returning to Champaign County in central Illinois, I was hired to run a local nonprofit, Feeding Our Kids, that serves weekend food bags to school children facing food insecurity all across Champaign County.

Now, I have decided to pursue a new potential career path….

I grew up on a farm outside of the small village of Pesotum, Illinois, USA.  I have been fortunate to live in a few different places (Boulder, Colorado; Cork, Ireland; Los Angeles, California; and Bogotá, Colombia) and have a few different careers (Aerospace Engineer; Teacher; Coach; Farming; Nonprofit Management).  But I’ve always been curious as to what more there is out in the world.

I am currently based in Champaign, Illinois  after traveling around the world for a year and a half.

This website was mostly used as a compilation of that journey as well as future endeavors.
