Semifinalist, 2026 Roadmap Writers' Shorts Competition
BIO
As a weird, redheaded only child from the Midwest, Matt writes stories centered around SOCIAL REBELLION, SELF-ESTEEM, and the cheeky ABSURDITY of life.
Besides occasionally writing in ALL CAPS, he purr-furs crafting Comedy, Sci-Fi, and Horror stories that fuse high-concept thrills with infectiously flawed characters.
Ever since a young boy wrapping himself in blanket cocoons while playing out movies in his head, Matt's been using the power of story to instill hope in himself for achieving his dreams.
His main goal with his writing is to inspire other weirdo goofballs to believe in themselves, because at the end of the day, his core belief is that everyone should have the chance to see their own greatness, no matter how peculiar or offbeat they might be.
Currently, he resides rent-free in your head as you read this sentence, but typically appears around the Greater Los Angeles area.
