man surfing with a seagull in view.

Hello!

I’m Matt. I’m a freelance writer and journalist from the freshwater shores of Northern Michigan.

Since 2021, I’ve been based in Latin America. As a journalist, I’ve covered a wide range of topics, from rock and roll history in Argentina to Southern Brazil’s craft beer culture. I even danced in Buenos Aires’ version of Carnival for Condé Nast Traveler, all for the perfect story and a bit of fun. 

In 2024, I became the co-founder of tastesandtides.com, a digital magazine about good food and good surf.
