About Matt

I served 5 years in the Marine Corps infantry and went to work for a local government after I got out. After a few years I had an urge to try something different and more fulfilling. In the summer of 2016, I went on a backpacking trip through Yosemite National Park. Surrounded by simplicity, beauty, and carrying my camera, I found my calling to create.

Giving up the security of a stable job, I founded Illume Multimedia and began the most fulfilling journey of my life. My professional principles are centered around two concepts: I want to work and I want to learn.
