Brief Biographical Sketch:

For a very long time, Matthew Petersen thought that life was straightforward: the child of two engineers, he presumed that he, too, would become an engineer, and this is what he now studies at Brown University. However, a stray course in Sumerian freshman year piqued his interest, and he now is pursuing majors in both Engineering and Assyriology. Eventually, he hopes to be able to use his combined expertise in both fields to help make the world a better place.

Hailing from the temperate and beautiful Pacific Northwest (Corvallis, Oregon [Go Beavs!], to be precise), he enjoys tabletop role-playing games, part of the discography of Quinta do Bill (the hit Portuguese Celtic Folk-Rock band of the Eighties), fire, hiking, and referring to himself in the third person.
