About Mat

Born in Warsaw, Poland, I immigrated to the States a son of a political refugee. I grew up in Michigan exploring the Great Lakes and falling in love with all things Detroit. In time, and in spite of my reluctance, I learned to appreciate the written word. Upon graduating from Oakland University, and later Wayne State, I set off for Utah and the mountain west. After 13 years of life along the Western Slopes of the Rocky Mountains, and after having learned to teach and write at Utah State, I moved back to the midwest. Accompanied by my family, I now enjoy the many different landscapes of Wisconsin, and those lakes I've so sorely missed.

When not working on the Stone Edda, I write poetry, I play music, I read as much as I can, and I try unsuccessfully not to stream too many movies and shows.
