About me

Hi, I’m Matthew. I’m a Las Vegas native, with a Pacific Northwest soul. I’ve lived many places over the years, including some of America’s biggest and best cities: Las Vegas, New York, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland… and now, with the love of my life, we’ve made home in a small rural town nestled between Salem, OR and the Oregon beaches. With a wonderfully fulfilling day job in maintenance, working for a company that provides support to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), I began looking for a creative outlet that helped harness my passions outside of work. When I’m not working or cooking, I’m usually spending time with my adoring wife; I also love documenting about my fascination with food, film, gaming, and living a healthy(-ish) life!
