My name is Matt, but please call me Chappy. I live in Birmingham, Alabama with my wife, two little girls, and assorted animals.

Chappy’s Thoughts started life as an email newsletter in 2006 and has taken on a number of forms through the years, including a book and multiple websites. Today, you’ll find me ruminating on a number of topics that center around being a middle-aged Dad, husband, and human who is still figuring out life. The opportunity to share these stories serves as reason enough for me to step outside my comfort zone, learn new things and push a few boundaries along the way.

Thanks for visiting Chappysthoughts.com. I hope you have a few laughs and learn something along the way.
