So I guess this is the part where I introduce myself…..but I am totally not an alcoholic.
Seriously though, I’m Matt. I work in the film industry as a Stuntman, Stunt Coordinator, and 2nd Unit Director, hence lighting myself on fire. I have worked in the industry for many years, this time last year I was in Iceland filming the latest Fast n Furious movie. I also served for several enlistments in the U.S. Army. As such one might expect me to do all kinds of crazy things….which isn’t necessarily incorrect, I mean who doesn't like a good adventure especially when it involves traveling, even to the crappier parts of the world? But often I can be found working on the fixer upper house that I bought a bit ago, and hanging out with my decidedly unmacho little dog, who I like more than most people.
I ended up here after talking with my buddy Kerry, who is all about the Steem. I have been looking at alternative methods of investing over the last several years, as the stock market always seemed not only dicey, but pretty cutthroat and impersonal. I had put some into real estate, but a friend turned me on to cryptocurrency. This came up in my conversation with Kerry and he said he was doing the same thing and had I heard of Steem. He went on to explain what it was all about and it just seemed like a perfect fit, so….here I am.
I’m not sure everything I’ll post about or on. Certainly entertainment industry things, military type things, but I am not as knuckle dragging as my background might sound. I’m interested in scuba, alternative energy, off grid green living (I’m partially off grid now and trying), history, and I will go toe to toe with meme’s any chance I get. I guess I have an interest in a lot of eclectic subjects. My son says I'm a fountain of random information.
As I explore here I’m sure I’ll find other things I’m interested in talking about. So I look forward to interacting with the Steem community in the near future as I get my bearings.
Goodluck here
Welcome to family :)

Welcome to Steemit @stuntworksinc :)

Welcome to Steem @stuntworksinc I have sent you a tip
Thanks botty....now I just have to learn what that entails. LOL
interesting hobby hahaha
Hell....they actually pay me to do that stuff.
Is that your dog? love the photos.
That is in fact my dog, he makes a great spotter....or photobomber. LOL
Hey, man. Welcome to Steemit! I'm sure you'll fit in great here. Your job sounds pretty damn interesting, and I'm sure others along with myself would love to see more posts about that in the future. Also, your dog is dope :) Just went ahead and gave you a follow, can't wait to see some future posts!
Thanks dead, you're my first post reply.
The job is pretty interesting and lets me love what I do instead of work a job I hate to make ends meet. I could certainly post about it, just need to figure out how and where is best here, and what folks would be interested in.
And yeah, he's a pretty cool dog and a rescue to boot. Thanks man.
I'm glad it was me, and not some spam account, haha.
I personally would be interested in hearing about any of it, you don't really see many stuntmen/women talking about their work publicly online. At least I haven't, lol. And, good stuff on the doggo. I've got a rescue dog myself, a very wrinkly, drool filled rescue, lol. You could post about your dog a bit on here, too. Lots of love for pets/dogs on this site.
It's nothing too secret. Only time we can't talk much is if it's a movie that hasn't come out yet or something like a Marvel flick. They're pretty serious about not putting out stuff online early. So we just wait until it comes out. Then it's no problem.
I have no problem talking about my fuzzy boy. He's laying on the couch next to me as I type. Good on you for having a rescue. I'll have rescues for the rest of my life. Just feels better...
That's pretty cool! I don't think I've seen a stuntman on here before.
What did you do during the Fast and the Furious? :D Do you have to travel a lot? So many interesting things I'd like to know - tell me more, tell me more!
No stuntman yet....FIRST!!! LOL
I do get to travel a fair amount, and then since I love that, when I'm done I usually stay and start traveling from there. Did "Fast" in Iceland, then when we were done I had my son come over and we took off from there. Flights are cheap once you're over the big pond. So we put on backpacks and did Ireland, England, Scotland, Norway, Denmark, and of course Iceland where we started.
On fast I did a lot of shooting machine guns from a truck at the heroes as we chased them on a frozen lake.
