  • Matt has been brewing his own hard cider for over 10 years.

  • In his eight years of professional writing, he's covered countless topics across the fields of music, tech, and food.

Experience

As well as a career wordsmith, Matt has always been a bit of a food nerd. His kitchen experiments started in 2010 and are inspired by gastronomy gurus like Alton Brown and J. Kenji López-Alt. He learned to love recipes that measure ingredients by mass instead of volume and hate one-pot recipes that require him to clean the pot out between steps. In 2023, he combined his love for cooking with his love for writing when he began writing for Mashed. He has also been published at XDA and Heavy.

Education

Matt has a bachelor's degree in English from University of California, Santa Barbara. His studies specialized in the literature of culture and information — in other words, the internet.
