According to his mother, Matthew showed signs of creativity at a very early age. Of course, that might just be a polite way of saying he was a little weird.

After graduating from The Johns Hopkins University, Matthew began working as an investment banker and was certain he had his whole life and career mapped out. He even had a twenty-year plan to prove it.

But after a yearlong battle with cancer (he’s been cured for over twelve years now), Matthew realized that he needed to scrap his plans and focus on living in the moment. A few weeks later, he quit his job and began writing.

Since taking the leap, Matthew has written for film (30 Minutes or Less), television, and print, and loves crafting stories for all mediums and audiences.

Matthew currently resides in Arlington, Virginia with his amazing wife.
