Personal History

Matthew enjoyed a comfortable, quiet, life in St. Louis. He spent a lot of his youth running around causing mayhem with his friends, play fights with his older brother, and looking after his younger sister. Matthew was never a stellar achiever, but he always drove those around him to do great things, and be better people. Often committing considerable amounts of his time and efforts in helping other people – and it was this attitude that made Amelia, his now wife, chase after him. He was often to busy to notice girls, and was far too friendly to guess they were flirting with him – but Amelia was persistent, and she had her way.

Soon after school Amelia and Matthew decided to get married, and enjoyed the rollercoaster lifestyle of newly weds as they adjusted their lives together. During a house warming visit, Patrick pulled Matthew aside – now in his early 20s – and had a heartfelt conversation with him. Matthew was wasting his potential as a labourer, and encouraged him to join Starfleet. Patrick was a young Tactical Midshipmen, freshly graduated, and was ready to conquer the galaxy. The conversation caused a rift between the two brothers, something which Emily was never able to forgive. As soon after, Patrick was lost in a skirmish with the Romulans.

Matthew was grieving, and no longer in an emotional state to start a new family. This strained his marriage, as he lost direction, and now lacked guidance. Realising one day that at least for Amelia's sake, he had to get his life together. He then joined Starfleet – as a Tactical Officer Cadet – much to the further dismay of Emily, and their parents.

His time at the Academy was as per Matthew's history, unstellar, quiet, resigned and plodding along. He filled his marriage with love, and passion – as Matthew slowly started to find himself more and more, and with Amelia at his side he began to flourish. It became rapidly apparent at the Academy that Matthew was capable of immense compassion and leadership, with a keen knack for diplomacy. He was tagged for early command before graduation, and was destined to do well from there on.

However as fate would have it, Matthew was not assigned to a frontier vessel, or an exploration vessel. He was tasked to a science vessel, as a helmsmen. It was not challenging work for an incompetent pilot, but Matthew served as best as he could within the confines – at fortunately it did not go without notice, rising to Ensign very soon. When the Krynar war arrived, Matthew demanded a transfer – and was tempted to demand it at phaser point. Granted transfer with express privileges, he served as an able Helmsmen and Weapons officer aboard USS Mattis. He was present during the defense of Sol, earning his field promotion to Lt JG post-battle, and served as the assistant CTO for the remainder of that tour.

With his taste of combat, his griefing process over and his dance with debt – he felt his debt owed to Patrick was payed. He transferred to serve as an Academy Instructor, and finally settle down with his wife, Amelia.
