The name's Matt, the profession is writing, and the humor is calculated. I'm a staff writer that covers military, first responder, and intelligence community history for Black Rifle Coffee's digital publication: Coffee Or Die magazine. Previously I worked as a freelance writer where some of my stories appeared on the Filson Journal and other smaller history-focused online publications. 

​

All of my published articles can be found on Authory. Original reporting stories can be found under the "Writing" tab on my website.

​

I'm also an avid supporter of One More Wave and have written stories of veteran surfers (team riders) and their journeys through surf and art therapy. I also helped create the Warrior Spotlight series on Fairways For Warriors. Through this organization I had the opportunity to use my voice to echo through the airwaves of ESPN Radio. Here I advocated for other types of solutions for veteran disabilities.

As a fun creative outlet, I use my micro-blog @LateNightHistory on Instagram to share the story behind the image. The topics are broad from wars, people, food, sports, crime, and culture.
