MATT SPARKS

Matthew Montgomery Sparks was born in Jacksonville, North Carolina, to parents George and Valda Sparks. A respectful upbringing saw him through to, when nearly 8 years of age, his parents were killed in a hit-and-run by a drunk driver who escaped prosecution on a technicality; what should have been an open-and-shut case effectively hijacked by a slim chance the driver’s blood sample had been cross-contaminated.

Matt’s life and his orientation could have taken a turn for the worse were it not for him being raised by close friend of the family, Peter Shale, a man he came to affectionately term ‘Uncle Peter’. Instilled with a desire to be the change that one wants to see in the world, Matt – along with best friend Bryce Hicks – decided while still a teenager that he would one day like to join the U.S. Marines.

Matt stands at approximately 5 feet 10 inches, has an average build, and short blonde hair.
