December 28th, 2023 — If you’re looking for my ecom copywriting services, to learn more about me, etc. then bookmark the site and check back. I’ll be revamping the site over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, feel free to DM me on Twitter.
Hey, my name is Matt and this is my personal website. I’m not currently blogging here, though that might change in 2021 as I have some topics I’d like to explore (self improvement and stoicism).
For now, here is a little bit of info about me.
Work
I currently work for a media company that publishes websites in the online gambling space.
My role varies day to day but revolves around managing writers, auditing and creating content, improving outdated content, etc. with the goal of increasing traffic via SEO and clicks to affiliate partners.
I started this role in 2020, but I’ve worked with the company as a freelance writer since 2016. I was ready for a change and some new challenges, so it made sense for all of us for me to become an employee.
Before that, I freelanced for a variety of publishers in the gambling space. I started freelancing in 2009.
I held a variety of jobs prior to working for myself. When I was young, I worked in restaurants. Then in a shop repairing motorcycles and ATVs. And then in construction, building and installing custom ornamental rail and fencing.
Hobbies
I work on my own sites in my spare time. One of my sites is The Divot, which publishes golf content. I took up golf in 2019 and was hooked from the start. It was perfect timing as the COVID-19 pandemic hit just a couple months later.
Another site of mine is The EDC Life, which focuses on everyday carry. Everyday carry is another term for the stuff you bring with you every day, such as your phone, keys, knives, phone, watches, and so on.
I also am building a site of bookmarks with links to all my favorite websites.
Finally, I started a project called Pacific Coast Golfer which focuses on golfing in British Columbia, Washington State, Oregon, and California. This is a good resource if you’re looking for golf courses, stores, instructors, and more in any or all of those states. You’ll also find some general information to help you with your golf game, too.
Other than my personal hobbies, I hang out with my wife at our home in Vancouver, Wa, which is where I’ve lived since 2006.
Once COVID-19 subsides, we’ll get back to our other hobbies/interests, which includes sampling the various restaurants in the Portland, Or and Vancouver, Wa area and traveling.
