I’m Matt - and I’m glad you are here! You may have already had a chance to learn about SWIRL (if not, you can do that here), but I thought I’d share a little about myself as well, so you know who is delivering all this swirly content every week.
SWIRL revolves around technology, business, and politics because those are the spaces where I love to geek-out. In my ‘day-job’, I do security and technology consulting for business of all shapes and sizes all around the world. That explains the first two SWIRL elements. Where does politics fit in? I studied political science at The University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!), currently live in Washington DC, and for better or worse, I’m an unrepentant politics junkie.
A few other things that probably influence the perspectives I bring to SWIRL:
My favorite movie is Top Gun and this is unchangeable.
Although Top Gun features the US Navy, I served in the US Air Force as an intelligence officer for 5 years…
…which allowed me to live and work in some really gorgeous, tricky, and interesting places.
If I’m not doing tech, business, or politics, I’m probably cooking, making Spotify playlists, out on a hike, or solving crossword puzzles.
I’m not your dad, but I do have his jokes.
The dress was white & gold.
My astrological sign is Blanche Devereaux.

Last thing. I’d be offending my polite southern raising — and more importantly — my mother’s sensibilities if I didn’t thank you once more for spending a little time here with me & SWIRL. We’re both very excited about what’s ahead. More on that in another post (which I will link here in the coming months).
Cheers and happy swirling,
-Matt
