I started mainly in music collecting back in 1995 when i first met Dave Grohl outside of a venue in Providence, RI. Having ben heavily involved in music, both listening and performing, I obtained more and more. Most of these pieces now hang in my music themed restaurant.

About 7 years ago, I began collecting movie/TV memorabilia. While my PC is mostly 80's movies, and obscure things I enjoyed as a kid, it expanded into sports for my oldest son, as well as newer movies for my daughter.

In the last 2 years, I have become more involved with buying and selling. I enjoy matching pieces with people who will truly enjoy them. This led to my creation of Matt's Mats. Using my design/marketing background, I wanted to produce something that could help showcase signed items - rather than the run of the mill white mats, and potentially more affordable than custom framing. What started as a simple piece of paper glued to a mat board has evolved into direct, UV cured ink printing with ability to make any size, with any cut. I create each mat to customer specification or let my mind run wild when they ask me to. I try to make everything look like something I would want on my wall.

Recently, I have teamed with 2 friends to create Graph Guys. We are currently working on private as well as consignment signings and focusing on giving top notch customer service and some great products.
