Matt carries on a long family tradition of offering quality construction related training programs. Matt's other brothers also operate construction related training programs in the United States. Matt and his brothers train more heavy equipment operators than any other organization in the United States and Canada. Soon after Robert Klabacka's death, Matt founded the National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Schools, NAHETS. Matt's brothers continue to operate their own separate training sites. Matt was able to see a need for an educational organization dedicated to the heavy equipment operator training programs.
