Matt Dumont is an environmental scientist in New Zealand where he and his wife live. He is a systems thinker who was diagnosed with ADHD as a young child. For most of his life he managed his symptoms with systems rather than medication. Recently, he started taking stimulant medication, which caused him to re-focus (or hyperfocus) on ADHD. As a scientist he enjoys observing himself, learning, and laughing at the silly things his brain does.
