He has been married to his wife for over 26 years, and together they’ve built a life rooted in Jesus, love, and resilience. He often says one of his greatest blessings is his wife—a godly woman who is beautiful inside and out, his partner in building dreams, and the one who encourages him to pursue his calling. Their marriage has weathered life’s ups and downs with grace, laughter, and a love that only grows stronger with time.

As a father, Matthew is deeply proud of his nine children. Each one is unique, with different strengths, personalities, and talents, and he delights in seeing them grow into who God has called them to be. His love for them shapes not only his daily life but also the recurring themes of family, faith, and perseverance found throughout his writing.

A graduate of the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor’s in English and a Master of Fine Arts from Full Sail University, Matthew writes across genres—from mysteries and fantasy to reflections on faith, family, business, and life. While the subject may change, one thing never does: his commitment to creating stories and insights that uplift, challenge, and remain true to his Christian values.

Originally from Oklahoma, Matthew now lives in Florida, where he and his family enjoy church, theme parks, museums, and traveling together. Whether he’s crafting a gripping story or sharing lessons learned from life, his words are meant to inspire readers to think deeper, live stronger, and see the world through fresh eyes.
