Copywriter. Internet celebrity. Amateur Trombonist.
Yes. Yes. And Absolutely.
After graduating from the University of Michigan with a degree in Film/Video studies Matt began work at Doner Advertising as an associate producer. He pursued this avenue for 4 years before being pulled across to the copywriting department, his true love. He has been writing television, radio, print and new media copy for the likes of Cox Communications, DelTaco, Odwalla, and HGTV ever since and is not looking back.
When not getting paid to have ideas Matt independently writes and produces Internet sketch comedy with his comedy troupe, ThesePeople. ThesePeople's videos have gotten over 35 million views worldwide and have enjoyed front-page features on YouTube, CollegeHumor, and Yahoo.com to name a few. Their sketch "Polaroid" was nominated by NBC.com for Viral Video of the Year 2006, but was beaten out by Conan O'Brien's opening to the Emmys. We have been told the voting was very close.
Matt is a 6'4'' Scorpio who enjoys Paleontology, baseball, and Karaoke-ing under the pseudonym "Clyde".
