Hi!

I’m Matt. I’m a freelance writer, editor, and creative partner specializing in sustainable food, wine, outdoor travel, and place-based storytelling. 

With over five years of experience working with major media outlets (Condé Nast Traveler, SPIN, Epic Gardening) and mission-driven brands, I bring stories to life that connect people to land, sea, culture, and community. 

Whether I’m writing about foraging in the Great Lakes, regenerative farming, or surf culture in Japan, my work is rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and sustainability. 

I collaborate with editorial teams, startups, and nonprofits on high-impact content, from longform features to campaign copy and branded newsletters.
