About Matthew
I am a 26 year old web designer, developer, and online marketer.
In early 2007 I built a full-featured online dating website, from concept to launch, in only 66.5 hours. The end result was Mingle2, and within six months the website received several million visitors and was eventually acquired by a competitor.
Prior to working full-time at Mingle2, I co-founded SEOmoz and acted as CTO, web designer, and web developer.
