Matt was born in Waco, Texas and raised in the Oklahoma City area where he found himself easily bored and oft adrift throughout his early years. Many ill-advised stunts, fights, and other misguided adventured culminated with short stint in state prison. A year to the day from his release he found himself involved in a road rage incident in which his friend was murdered directly in front of him. It was at that time Matt decided to pursue a quieter life in Hollywood. He supported his early years working as an autism therapist where he formed a lifelong friendship with his ex client, Ryan. Matt can now be found waiting for someone to give him some meaty dialogue to chew on and recently rowed a rowboat across the Pacific Ocean for a world record.
