Matt Keyser’s Biography

Matt found his love for sports as a young boy: studying the box scores of baseball games in the mornings and spending the afternoons striking out his little brother with a mix of fastballs and knee-buckling curveballs. Though his dreams of pitching in the big leagues never blossomed, Keyser began covering sports for the newspapers he grew up reading.

He’s covered everything from Texas high school football to the Houston Astros’ two World Series titles. When he’s not writing, you can find Keyser cooking Texas-style barbecue or lounging in a body of water with his wife and two daughters.
