Produced by EXP, the annual GPS Your Future® career discovery event showcases high-growth industries and introduces career paths to high school students. We are anticipating 400+ students this year to help celebrate 15 years of career discovery!

  • Keynote address from Matt Barnes, founder and CEO of Rogue United.

  • Entrepreneurial incubator activity led by the CSU Dominguez Hills Innovation Incubator

Keynote Speaker: Matt Barnes, founder and CEO of Rogue United,

For over a decade, Matt has been a catalyst for creativity, storytelling, and community-driven impact in Orange County. With a background in teaching, consulting, and nonprofit leadership, Matt has worked with organizations like Vanguard University, Rockharbor Church, LOT318, and Biola University, shaping their strategic growth and helping them tell their stories more effectively.

Based in Newport Beach, Rogue United includes ventures such as Rogue Collective, a collaborative workspace for entrepreneurs and nonprofits; Rogue Aviation, a premier helicopter training and charter company; and Creating Good, a growing social impact movement and media platform. Through Rogue United’s ventures, Matt has not only built successful businesses but also created a platform where creativity meets purpose. His work has garnered support from sponsors and investors, further fueling the expansion of Creating Good and upcoming initiatives like Creating Good Kids—a movement to inspire the next generation of changemakers. In 2025, VitalLink named Matt as the Volunteer Changemaker of the year in recognition of his commitment to empowering youth through career exploration, creativity, and hands-on learning.

Whether he’s mentoring startups, advising nonprofits, piloting helicopters, or being a husband and father of five, Matt leads with vision, purpose, and a relentless drive to help others succeed.

Matt’s extraordinary energy and creativity will certainly hype up our 10th graders for a day of career discovery and hands-on learning!
