Michael Mattson is a freelance writer living under one of O'hare Airport's busiest flight paths.

After graduating from Loyola University with a BA in Business, he worked for a few multi-national companies. Working for the likes of Ace Hardware, Continental Grain Co., and HBLW showed that Michael was better suited to a career which allowed more freedom of expression.

Michael decided to follow the career paths of his sister and father and joined the Chicago Police department.

He brings a wealth of life experience to his writing and is currently working on his first novel.
