He studied writing and drama, as well as computers, while attending Bob Jones University in the late 80’s and early 90’s. There he met his wife, Wendy, of twenty-three years and started a family. He currently resides in Bloomington, Indiana with his wife and two children, Kathryn (Kat) and Ethan. His oldest son, Sean, is currently in college and is engaged to be married. Matthew has long been a fan of fantasy fiction. His first attempt at writing was brought on by roommates in college egging him on, and so he wrote his first unpublished fantasy novel. After graduating, Matthew continued his writing exploits, mostly in the drama genre. After developing a series of children’s skits in the 2000’s, he was encouraged to take the skits and convert them into a series of children’s chapter books. To date, he has written four of the fourteen stories in the “Chel & Riley Adventures” series. Taking a break from creating children’s fiction and drama, Matthew decided to reach back at the request from his daughter, Kat, and create a fantasy world that mixed all of her favorite thematic elements. This series is currently outlined to cover five volumes; however, he is convinced that there could be many more stories that evolve out of this new universe.view less
