Mathew’s journey as a writer began with curiosity and defiance—sneaking onto his family’s first computer, a Windows 95 running WordPerfect, despite his mother’s warnings not to touch it.
What he discovered there was transformative: the power to breathe life into characters and shape worlds with words. That spark became a lifelong passion.
Born in Mississauga, Ontario and later moving to and growing up in North Bay, Mathew began writing his first book, A New Life, at a young age.
