About Me

Hello! My name is Matthew, and I am pleased you are here!

0000 Matthew Headshot SelectI have been writing and publishing in one format or another for as long as I can remember. As a child, I designed my own sports magazines at home. In college, I started writing for newspapers, an endeavor that allowed me to meet and tell the stories of many fascinating people for more than a decade. My wife, Molly, and I share our love of Southern recipes and restaurants by publishing a blog called #FoodieScore.

Now, I’m beginning to tell my stories in electronic and print books. This site will help you learn more about them and more about me.

I have lived with anxiety and depression throughout my life, but I did not begin to understand and address those challenges until I reached my thirties. Those have become major focuses in my life, and they are also important themes in my writing.

Thank you for your interest in my work and the stories I have to tell. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, suggestions or would like to commission me for a project.
