Matt Cole was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. He earned an undergraduate degree in kinesiology at the University of British Columbia and a graduate degree in exercise physiology at the University of Victoria. He has worked as a kinesiologist since. 

During his college and university years, Matt scratched his creative itch in screenwriting and short fiction courses and workshops.  In his free time, he enjoys red wine (or the nectar of the Gods as he believes it to be), reading fantasy fiction and graphic novels, and devouring dark chocolate. He can be found wandering bookstores and comic book shops, attending film festivals, drinking craft beer at the local pub, as well as competing in local IPSC competitions. You may also find him at the gym if he ever gets his ass in gear and gets back at it.

Matt lives in Coquitlam, British Columbia. He was married in for 7 years and was in a relationship with another crazy person between 2016 to 2017.  He survived both these ordeals, albeit not entirely unscathed. He currently has neither a partner nor a pet but is on the lookout for a captivating individual and worthy creature to fill these roles.

He is currently working on his first full-length novel, a grimdark fantasy, the first in a series.
