Matt began growing his beard in 2004. He thought about shaving it but didn’t, because he was studying film at the Savannah College of Art and Design and fit in perfectly. After college he worked as a production assistant, and as a post-production freelancer. He moved to Chicago in February of 2011 where he continues to work in post-production. When Matt is not avoiding shaving his face, he likes to pretend he agrees with any decision his fiancée makes about their upcoming wedding, and he enjoys being entirely too emotional about sports and the St. Louis Cardinals. He also is a frequent participant in awkward conversations.
