My name is Matthew McGarity. I’m a dad & husband living in McKinney, TX.

I have two kids, two cats, a guinea pig, a dog, and a lizard. Collectively, there are 6 girls to 3 boys in our house, so I am outnumbered.

My daytime hours are spent as product manager for a cyber-security platform. In between saving the world, I like to explore, read non-fiction, collect comic books, play video games, write in my various paper & electronic journals, and work on various projects.

I don’t write here very often, but I’m always thinking about starting again. When I do, I like writing about running, technology, politics, and family. I also write on a variety of personal interests, which are better-categorized by the tags displayed on each post.

I am not really on social media, having quit all big players back in 2020. Since then, I privately reactivated my Instagram profile and my only follower is my wife, so she can continue to be surprised by the occasional family photos appear in her feed. I'm occasionally on Facebook — then when I am there, I remember why it's occasionally.

I love listening to podcasts. I sometimes make appearances on other people’s podcasts. I occasionally think of creating my own, but then give up because it seems like so much work.
