My name is Matt. I am an adventurer and artist. I grew up in Kansas and moved to Nashville with my brother in 2013 to pursue our music career. I was a touring musician for 12 years. Music really got me out of my box and let me see the world and interact with different cultures and forced me to learn new skill sets. It set me up for being flexible and resourceful and learning to communicate with people. Music mostly ended for me during the pandemic in 2020 so I changed my focus toward photography.

Currently, I divide my time between Nashville and Moab, UT. I spend part of the year living in a van, where I can work while pursuing my passions for climbing, photography, and exploration.

My pursuit of photography is to capture the unknown. To inspire and inform. I feel like most people don’t get to experience the fullness that life has to offer and I want to take photos that motivate people to get out and see more.
