Matt grew up in a small mountainous town somewhere around the western United States. Because of his dads offbeat stories, he thought until the age of 5 that he and his twin brother Nathan were dropped off in the woods as babies by space aliens. Only to be saved and raised by human parents. This had no affect on him at all…………..Many many years later, Matt became a little smarter, he got married, had a couple awesome kids, graduated with a Masters degree in film from Art Center College of Design, had another awesome kid and then started editing, writing and directing episodes of the insanely cool kids show Yo Gabba Gabba! He then wanted to direct commercials so bad that he spent a year of his life raising money and putting together some great spots written by some pretty rad copywriters from some even radder ad agencies. Now, nearing his mid 30's Matt still believes to be the spawn of aliens.
