Meet Matt
Hi, I'm Matt. I grew up on a farm in northwest Iowa, the youngest son of a machinist and a 3rd grade teacher. I spent a lot of time playing with the family camera and camcorder. When I reached high school two friends and I made a feature film to showcase the newly purchased video equipment. We all had limited experience but ended up all self taught mostly on what not to do. Since then this has fueled a passion to make cool stuff and learn new things all the time.
I studied video and audio production at Buena Vista University. I began my career at several television stations creating commercials, promos, web banners, and contests. I worked with a wide range of clients and businesses all with individual needs. I left TV for a time and worked as a Supervising Producer at Meredith Corporation producing digital content for Better Homes and Gardens, Martha Stewart Living, AllRecipes, Eating Well, Country Gardens, and Midwest Living. Eventually I made the switch back to my childhood dream job: Creating digital content for my fellow Iowans at Iowa PBS. When I am not working I spend my time watching bad horror movies with wife, and adventuring with my son. |
