Hello! I’m Matt D. Talford, a veteran of the US Army Medical Corps, a former ER nurse technician and retired IT services professional.  I’m the author of From Fear To Faith: A Survivor’s Story and in Fall 2013, after 20-plus years of working in Corporate America (the last 14 of which I spent in Microsoft’s Commercial Technical Support and Premier Services divisions), I decided to “jump off the hamster wheel,” retire at age 40, and help others along their journey.

In late 2012, roughly a year-and-a-half after recovering from a near-yearlong health challenge, I decided to write a book that I hoped would serve as an inspiration to anyone who might suddenly find themselves thrust into the “war on cancer,” or any other hard battle and in January of 2013, I began writing “From Fear to Faith: A Survivor’s Story.” The central theme throughout my life has been how to overcome great obstacles by using my faith.
