I'm from San Diego and now I live in Dallas, Texas. I have lived in Seoul, Korea and in Cancun, Mexico.

I love my family very much, my wife, daughter and two step sons, they are such blessings my life. I'm also very close to my mom, dad and siblings.

I'm open minded but yet very opinionated, I have my opinions and reasons for my opinions, I accept your opinion without trying to change it, so please don't try to change mine or tell me I'm narrow minded because I don't agree with you.

My camera is an extension of my body.

I love reading, anything, from the Bible to Philosophy, from History to Political Thrillers.

I mostly like listening to Rock and R&B.

I'm very direct and honest and most people can't handle that.

I love water, the ocean, rivers, lakes, ponds, creeks, even drinking water.

I've visited over 120 cities in 4 countries.

"I think Matt is a great photographer and a person over all.I think he has a great future in photography and am glad he has found something to full fill his life with.I think his macro photography is real impressive but I think also he should get off that style for a while and expand his photography in diffrent styles such as landscapes, potraits or even abstract.Good luck Matt!"
