Before joining Ganfer & Shore, he was a litigation attorney at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, after which he served as co-general counsel at Goya Foods, Inc.

In 2005, Matetsky began editing Wikipedia under the username Newyorkbrad, correcting a factual error on William Rehnquist's Wikipedia page.[16] He served on the English Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee from 2008 to 2014, and was re-elected in 2017.[16] As of May 2018 he was the Committee's longest-serving member.[17] He served until December 2018, then again from January 2020 to December 2021.[18][circular reference]
