Matthew grew up on a farm in Jeffersonville, Ohio where he was in frequent contact with a multitude of livestock and companion animals from an early age. He graduated from Ohio Northern University in 2011 with a BFA in Graphic Design and soon after moved to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area where he rediscovered his lifelong passion for animal wellbeing. In his free time he enjoys playing guitar, going hiking with his enthusiastic Corgi mix Sage, or lounging around with his cat, Acacia, nose buried in a good book.
