Who is Matthew D. Wittmer?
Matthew has been a creative artist and documentarian of sorts since grade school. His work has been published by Roman & Littlefield, University of California Press, and Independent School Magazine. His employment is usually where there is a crossroads between outreach and learning. He was raised in southern Missouri and has resided in southern California since 2000.

Matthew instructed drawing and printmaking courses at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (97-00) and was a mental health caseworker worker in downtown Los Angeles (02-06) for adults who live with severe and persistent mental illness. Since 2008 he has served as a full-time librarian for middle and high school students at The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California.

Mountaineering, canyoneering, and tattooing have crept into his repertoire since 2013. He has traveled throughout the United States, New Zealand, Ireland, London, France, Spain, southern India, and Italy. He documents the April 19th Survivors’ Memorial service in Waco, Texas annually.
