Matt Eicheldinger wasn’t always a writer. He spent most of his childhood playing soccer, reading comics, and trying his best to stay out of trouble. Little did he know those moments would ultimately help craft his first novel, Matt Sprouts and the Curse of Ten Broken Toes.
Matt lives in Minnesota with his wife and two children and tries to create new adventures with them whenever possible. He has been teaching for 15 years. When he's not writing, you can find him telling students stories in his classroom, or trail running along the Minnesota River Bottoms.
