Meet your trainer

Matt Helms

Founder & Lead Trainer · Technical Trainer & Learning Systems Specialist

Torch & Loom is new. The experience behind it isn't.

For 15+ years I've designed and delivered training for teams in retail, higher education, food & beverage, insurance, facilities, healthcare, rail, aerospace, manufacturing, and federal services, with classes from 8 to 95 people, in the room and online.

I'm also the person who builds the tools: Power BI dashboards, Power Automate workflows, and knowledge bases that make training measurable and repeatable. Every class runs on one idea: nobody learns when they're afraid to ask.

How I teach

Built so nobody gets left behind

Safe to ask anything

No question is too basic. Every question gets a real answer, because confusion left unspoken becomes mistakes later.

Patient

I explain it as many times as it takes, and no one should feel like they're holding the class back.

Engaging & hands-on

Games, quizzes, scavenger hunts, and role-plays keep people practicing instead of just watching slides.

Clear

Complex systems and processes broken down into plain, step-by-step language people remember.
