Since he was a young boy, Matt has always enjoyed using his imagination. It wasn't uncommon to find him outside pretending to save the world, or see him daydreaming of his next adventure. Now as a mid-20 year old living in Southern California, he has began to tackle one dream at a time. Through traveling all over the World and seeing great needs among kids, Matt has decided to use his gifts that God has given him , and finally portray his imagination on paper.

Matt is the founder of a non-profit called Common Ground, established with purpose of spreading the Gospel of Christ to kids in underprivileged communities. These Common Ground areas include surfing, skating, art, and other adventures.
