Why I Wrote Waypoints

Over the years, I kept meeting people who were smart, capable, and still unsure about what to do next. I realized they weren’t struggling with information. They were overwhelmed by options, and the critical question of “what now?”

Waypoints is my attempt to give people something more useful than advice: a method. A way to slow down, think clearly, and move forward with confidence, even when the stakes feel high.

Matt lives in Port Angeles, Washington, with his wife and dogs. When he’s not writing or working, he’s usually playing chess, strolling his hometown, or cooking Thai food from scratch.
